D112 MKII Overview
The D112 MkII is a professional dynamic microphone designed for bass drums, featuring a newly integrated flexible mount while maintaining the renowned sound quality of its predecessor—the industry standard for years. Celebrated for its ability to handle high sound pressure levels, punchy EQ, and rugged build, the original D112 has earned its place as one of the best bass drum mics ever made.
The D112 MkII handles SPLs of over 160 dB without distortion. Its large diaphragm, with a very low resonance frequency, delivers deep, solid bass response below 100 Hz. This powerful low end is enhanced by a focused presence boost at 4 kHz, allowing the mic to cut through dense mixes and loud stage volumes with clarity and impact.
A favorite among musicians and engineers, the D112 MkII sounds great right out of the box—often requiring no additional EQ. It also features a built-in hum-compensation coil to keep unwanted noise to a minimum.
Perfect for both stage and studio use, the D112 MkII isn’t just great for kick drums—it also excels at capturing the sound of electric bass cabinets and trombones.
