AudixD-2 Drum Microphone
1/2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
One drum microphone at $189, meant for close-miking a kit. For drummers or engineers adding a channel, not a first all-purpose mic.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Close-miking a single tom or snare on a kit
- Adding one channel to an existing drum mic setup
- Gigging kits that get set up and torn down often
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone needing full kit coverage from one purchase
- Vocals, acoustic guitar, or general studio work
- Tight budgets that still need every drum miked
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Single microphone, not a pack
Covers one drum. Miking a full kit means buying several, so price it against pack options first.
Detail 03
$189 per channel
Cost scales with every drum you mic, and each one also occupies a preamp channel.
Detail 04
Black body
Stays visually quiet under stage lighting and on camera, which matters at close drum placement.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Needs a mixer or interface channel with a mic preamp.
- 02Plan on your own cable and a mount or rim clip.
- 03Miking a whole kit takes several mics plus stands.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does it come with a cable or clip?
Plan on supplying both. Budget for a mic cable and a mount or rim clip alongside the microphone itself.
02How many do I need for a full kit?
One per drum you want close-miked, plus overheads for cymbals. Most people start with kick and snare and build up from there.
03Can I use it for vocals or guitar amps?
It is built and voiced for drums. If vocals or amps are the main use, buy a mic intended for that instead.
04Is $189 reasonable for one drum mic?
It sits above starter mics and below flagship studio models. If you are miking four or more drums, price out a multi-mic pack first.
