The Essentials to Know About the D112 MKII Cardioid Microphone

  • Designed for Low-Frequency Instruments : faithful and impactful reproduction for kick drum, double bass, tuba, trombone, and other sources rich in the low spectrum.
  • Very High Acoustic Pressure Handling : built to withstand extreme levels, ideal placed close to the kick drum skin or a bell.
  • New Flexible Suspension with Integrated Stand Adapter : quick setup and stable positioning while minimizing unwanted vibrations.
  • Integrated Wind Screen : helps control breath noises and air movements typical of close miking.

A Classic "Bass" Recording Mic Updated for Today

The D112 MKII continues the legacy of a microphone that has become a reference for capturing powerful and deep sources, especially the kick drum. This MKII version retains the sonic signature that made the model successful, while introducing a major practical improvement: a flexible suspension that directly integrates the stand adapter. The result: a microphone designed for real studio and stage conditions, where quick setup and stable placement matter as much as signal quality.

Who Is It For and What Are Its Uses?

The D112 MKII is aimed at drummers, sound engineers, home studio users, and stage technicians seeking a solid, clear, and immediately usable recording on low-frequency instruments. On a kick drum, it captures the instrument's energy and "body" with excellent resistance to high levels. On a double bass, tuba, or trombone, it helps achieve a firm foundation and controlled presence, while benefiting from a cardioid directivity that is useful for better isolating the source in noisy environments.

Design and Key Practical Features

Flexible Suspension and Integrated Stand Adapter

The integrated flexible suspension improves ease of use: the microphone can be positioned precisely, stays in place, and reduces mechanical vibrations that might travel up the stand. This is especially appreciated in close miking (kick drum, brass), where even slight movement can noticeably alter the sound balance.

Cardioid Directivity: More Control, Less Spill

Thanks to its cardioid polar pattern, the D112 MKII focuses on the targeted source and further attenuates sounds coming from the rear. In live settings, this facilitates controlling spill (cymbals in a kick drum mic, stage monitors, other sections). In the studio, this directivity helps better separate elements, especially in multi-mic setups.

Handling High Pressure and Integrated Wind Screen

Low-frequency instruments often generate very high acoustic pressures and significant air movement. The D112 MKII is designed to withstand these stresses while integrating a wind screen that helps reduce breath noise effects. This ensures secure recording and allows working confidently, even very close to a highly dynamic source.
