Description

The D12E is successor to the classic single-diaphragm kick drum mic the D12. The mics are virtually identical, except for the plastic ‘band’ where the grilles overlap, and the position of the XLR output. The D12E is also great on bass cabs, tuba, trombone, and many styles of vocalists.

A revolutionary mic when it first appeared, the D12 has a hand-built bass resonance chamber emphasizing the 60-120 hz range, a built-in shock absorber and pop screen, and a very focused directional characteristic to eliminate feedback. The mic was an immediate hit upon release, and remains very well regarded today.
