AKG D112 MKII Pro Dynamic Bass Microphone

The AKG D112 MKII Pro Dynamic Bass Microphone is a descendant of AKG's D112 and earlier D12 dynamic microphone, and is widely known for its ability to handle high-level signals from bass drums and bass guitars in the studio. The microphone has been designed with a low resonance frequency and can handle very high transient signals with low distortion. It has a large dynamic range with a high signal-to-noise ratio and the capacity to input high sound levels without distorting. High frequency response has been tailored to keep both bass drum and bass guitar clearly distinguishable in the mix. A built-in windscreen makes the D112 also suitable for high SPL instruments such as the trombone and tuba.

AKG D112 MKII Pro Reviews

Mk2 Swivel Mount is a bad design.

By Carlos
Rated 1 out of 5

AKG D112 mk1 is a classic mic. The mk2 version is a terrible re-design. I purchased 2 for an install and in less than 1 year of regular use the swivel joint hardware came loose and fell apart. It is not designed to be tightened by any standard screwdriver. AKG refused to repair these mics after the warranty of 2 years. These mics are unusable now. Don't waste your money on AKG products if you expect longevity & good customer service.

The gold standard for bass drum recording and the road

I have one D112 already and love it. I wanted to compare to some other bass drum mics to purchase a second, and found that this most accurately reproduces the sound. Bottom line, it sounds great. And it's rugged and has design improvements over the first version (attaches directly to your mic stand). If you're looking for a good bass drum microphone, this is it. If you want to try to save a few bucks, you'll come back to this one anyway. It's the best
