Frequently Asked Questions

The D6 delivers a punchy low-end but lacks the extreme sub-bass extension and nuanced detail of a flagship mic. It's a very capable mic for most applications, though.
Yes, the D-Vice clamps are surprisingly robust; they hold up well to the weight of the mics even on thicker drum hardware, thanks to the steel construction.
While versatile, the D2 and D4 toms might require additional EQ to achieve the aggressive, scooped sound often favored in those genres.
