AKA "Battle of the cheapie kick mics"
I own the KM212 which I am thoroughly NOT impressed with, it came with a CAD pre-pack. The tom mics and snare mic aren't that bad to be honest, but even with mucho EQ plus running another squashed kick track alongside it, I just can't get a good sound out of the mic.
Doing some research I've read good things about the Superlux FK-2. As much as I'd love an Audix D6, my budget is sub-$100 at this point. I play/record heavier rock, so I'm looking for a bit of a click to cut through distorted guitars but still with some decent natural low end.
Has anyone heard both mics and can offer an opinion? Or, another option for a decent kick thump that doesn't need to be EQ'd to high heaven?
Thanks!
