This updated version of an industry standard in low frequency instrument microphones, this mic handles the same 160 dB of spl without distortion, and the same frequency bandwidth of 20 Hz to 17kHz (with empahsis on frequencies below 100 Hz) as the original D112, but with a much more flexible and usable clip. Easily position this microphone deep inside bass drums, wherever you like on bass cabinets, on upright basses...anything where bass is boss.
