    As a music producer you'll start to see many of my favourite 'toys' getting reviewed from the studio! You may have read my previous review of the fantastic AKG C451b and this following microphone is another fantastic member of the AKG family. The AKG D112 is an industry standard large-diaphragm dynamic microphone aimed at bass instruments. These include kick drums, bass guitar cabs and even electric guitar cabs for a meatier sound. You can purchase this microphone for around £109-£149 in most shops online and its usually maybe 10 or 20 pound extra in the shops on the high street. Either way ... more

    4 Stars There is an alternative! 30/06/2006

    Advantages Advantages Brilliant bass drum mic

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Quite bulky, and not the best on the market.

It is quite an expensive microphone, and one of the best places to buy from would ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Industry standard bass drum mic. Versatile.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Lacks the natural 'boom' of some other bass drum mics.

    The AKG D112 is generally a very sensible purchase. It has a home in almost all studios, from the small time musicians project bedroom studio, to the pro's studio. With a retail price of around £110, it's hardly breaking the bank either. However, you may still need to pair this mic up with another companies bass drum mic, as it can be a bit 'extreme' in it's sound. The AKG really catches to slap and punch of the kick drum. Similar to a basketball bouncing on a laminate wood floor. It's not devoid of all 'boom' and warmth but in some cases, you may need to use two microphones, one to get the ... more
