Clean and Versatile
Michal B. 19.07.2020
I bought this to use for my kick drum as a replacement for a D6 that died on me a short while ago (overloaded due to being placed at the port hole of the kick drum). I found the excessive brightness of a D6 a massive pain when it came to mixing it on a recording. The D112 MKII, on the other hand, is perfect. The presence boost around 2-5 kHz works very nicely with the low boost in the 100 Hz region to add clarity and punch.

Pros:
Clear and punchy, yet balanced, and natural sounding.
Sturdy, allegedly not susceptible to overloading.
Cons:
The front part of the clip can get in the way of placing it inside a port hole of the kick drum.

such good sound
Dav0 04.04.2019
So glad I got this to mic my Cajon. It really allows that bottom end through and has such a fat sound to it.

Only thing I'm not a fan of is how the xlr cable runs into the unit, right next to where it screws onto a mic stand. It makes sense when this is placed in tight areas to keep cabling nice and tidy, but I find it a bit fiddly from time to time. (very small inconvenience to an awesome mic).

Why did I wait
HowieCapowie 27.10.2020
I bought this as an upgrade for our rehearshal room drumkit. I have used some OK kick drum mic from a budget drum mick pack. It was not bad at all, but not great either. I have also used a Golden Age Project D2 with OK results. But when I put this on, it was an immediately improvment in clarity in the sound. punchy but yet defined. For this price it is a good Kick drum mic and it has been used both in studios and live for decades.

One of the best kick mics on the market. A must have for any drummer. Sounds great in or outside the kick drum. Live or in the studio it always delivers.
Coupled with a nice PA this thing really gives out what the bass drum has to offer.
Bought many years ago and it's still going strong. You will not be disappointed.

Amazing performance !
JZ92 05.11.2021
I have been using this microphone for almost 2 years. This is my go to choice for bass drum microphone. Nice low end , and a well defined beater click. I rarely EQ the kick drum when i used the AKG D112.
I highly recommend this microphone!!

Very durable, the sound is clean. A good all-around mic, it is used for the baritone horn and kick drum and works well.

Great on bass drum and on floor tom
NickKorobo 12.09.2023
This is a classic mic that among other applications it works both on kicks and floor toms. It provides a smoother frequency response than other kick drum mics without excessive coloration and this is what makes it so versatile.
There is only one downside and this is due to the xlr connector placement which, depending on your positioning, could be problematic.
All in all a great mic in an affordable price.

Great for bass drum
zildjandrinker 21.06.2020
I am using this mic to capture low frequencies from my bass drum. I got this mic to complement my overhead. I am super satisfied with the sound I am getting.

Pros:
The mic is great for capturing the sound from the bass drum. And if you want to you can make it very sensitive so you don't need to hit too hard the drum.

Cons:
It does not come with a protective case. So it could be difficult to move around.

Good Mic, better price.
Brondrums 17.02.2020
One of the industry standards for the bass drum micing, can be used on both floor tom and bass drum, one of the biggest selling points of the mics, is the price, it is cheaper than almost the rest of the industry standards. No regrets.

Edit: It started cutting out recently, probably a short. A replacement is on its way.
