I’ve been using the Audix D4 בעיקר on floor tom and bass-heavy sources, and it really delivers a solid, punchy low end without getting muddy. The attack is clear and defined, which helps the drum cut through the mix nicely.
Build quality is excellent, as expected from Audix — very sturdy and reliable for both studio and live use. It also handles high SPL without any issues.
Compared to other mics in this range, I find the D4 to have a more focused low-mid response, which reduces the need for heavy EQ later.
Overall, a great choice if you’re looking for a dedicated mic for floor tom, kick drum (secondary), or even bass cab.
Pros:
-Tight and punchy low end
-Excellent build quality
-Great for floor tom and bass sources
Cons:
-Slightly less versatile than some all-purpose dynamic mics
