Sound
Well to other people not rating it highly is probably becuase your not putting it in a correct position. but i find i can acheive clear punchy and crispy bass drum soudns with easy. Represents low end very well and boost at 60hz or lower is a great filler for the bass drum. I use it a lot in live and studio use. Plus why do you think so many studios use it becuase they know what there doing with it. And if u use it with maybe a Shure SM57. So Kick mic in the bass drum centre height and width near the non hit skin and a SM57 over the top of the bass pointing down at the beater it should sound wicked. Phase inverting the D112 can help if phase occurs.
Features
Perfect nice clip and adaptor for different sized stands.
