Frequently Asked Questions
The D6 is a bit more focused and less prone to muddiness, but lacks the sheer low-frequency extension of the Beta 52A. It's a great alternative if you're looking for a tighter, more controlled bass drum sound.
While they’re excellent mics, their sensitivity means room acoustics will be noticeable. Some acoustic treatment will help maximize their potential, but they are forgiving enough for decent results even in less-than-perfect environments.
The D-Vice clips are well-constructed, but care should be taken when attaching them to avoid scratching the drum finish. Using a thin cloth between the clip and the drum rim is recommended.
