5 Ways Sweetwater Makes Buying Microphones Better


D6 for kick drum





The D6 has a frequency response of 30Hz-15kHz and is characterized with a cardioid pick-up pattern. The D6 is designed to sound good in any position and it is not dependent on finding the "sweet spot" of the drum. The D6 capsule features the same legendary VLM technology that has made the D series percussion and instrument microphones very popular for today's live stages and recording studios.





i5 for snare





The i5's cardioid polar pattern allows it to focus on the specific instrument that is being miked while rejecting other instruments or ambient noise on stage. With a smooth and uniform frequency response of 50 Hz-16 kHz and an ability to handle sound pressure levels in excess of 140 dB, the i5 can be used for a wide variety of applications and for all genres of music.





MicroD for rack and floor toms





When it comes to smooth and accurate response over a 40 Hz-20 kHz frequency response, the MicroD miniature condenser instrument mic will serve percussionists well in stage and studio environments. The hypercardioid polar pattern of this mic zeroes-in on percussive vibrations to present you with detailed sound. The MicroD is super compact and lightweight, making it a simple process to set up, tear down, and transport.





ADX51 for overheads and hi-hat





The ADX51 is a pre-polarized condenser microphone designed to handle a wide variety of live, studio, and broadcast applications. Characterized with a cardioid pickup pattern and a smooth uniform response over a frequency range of 40Hz-20kHz, the ADX51 is precision machined from solid brass with a low reflective black e-coat finish.
