Audix Micro-D
Miniature instrument microphone with shockmounted gooseneck primarily used for drums and percussion
Designed, assembled and tested by Audix in the USA, the Micro-D is a miniaturized condenser microphone used for professional stage and studio applications. The Micro-D, known for its clarity, excellent transient response, resistance to feedback, SPL handling and ease of operation, is primarily aimed for miking drums and percussion instruments.
The Micro-D is characterized with a uniformly controlled hypercardioid polar pattern, provides excellent isolation and feedback control on stage as well as natural sound reproduction at very close distances.
With a smooth and accurate response over a frequency range of 40 Hz - 20 kHz, the Micro-D is lightweight, compact and simple to use. Housed in an aluminum ring and isolated by means of a rubber shockmount system, the Micro-D comes with the DVICE mount for drums (included) or the DCLAMP mount for hand percussion (optional accessory). A number of other optional accessories are available which allow the Micro-D to be used on a mic stand or cymbal stand for a wider variety of applications.
The Micro-D operates on phantom voltage of 9 - 52 Volts and is supplied with a phantom power adapter, 6 ft integrated mic cable and carrying pouch.
Applications
- Drums
- Hand percussion

What people are saying about the Audix Micro-D
(with Blink-182) "The new exciting thing for me is that I really like the Micro D's and M44's. Less 'clinical' than the mics I usually use and a much nicer warm low mid that really brings the toms out on top with less EQ. Plus the M44's are an 'all in one' small format mic which means they do not have that dorky external supply that the other companies clip on mics as well as the Micro D's have."
Dave Rat , FOH Blink 182 "The Micro-D reproduces drums and brass with the full spectrum range of a large diaphragm microphone in a sleek, low profile package. It has minimal coloring and is as versatile as anything I have used to date."
Tommy Rat, FOH Zebrahead 182
