Audix D6
Aggressive and forward modern mic. Exaggerated top and bottom end. Great for hard rock, metal, anything requiring ‘click’ and ‘punch’.

AKG D12 E
The predecessor of the D112. A legendary vintage microphone sadly no longer in production. Flat and neutral, with a full low mid frequency response. Fantastic for indie or any application requiring thud with less ‘click’.
