This is a D112 about 2 inches from the head. Half way between the beater and the rim. The drum is a 22 inch Tama rockstar with Evans EMAD heads. There is no EQ, compression, or anything else.

Audix mics are supposed to have a lifetime warranty. I do not know if its tranferable, but check it out!!! We had a broken om2 and they fixed it right away.

Hey - I bought a d112 on line, and when I got it, it sounded HORRIBLE! It was just a click sound. Anyway, Harvey said the capsule may be "stuck" - I stuck it it the bass drum and beat the living crap out of the bass drum, and it broke loose - sounded fine ever since - I will try and post a clip if I can find it, I was recording when it broke loose........

man...I have a Beta 52 and it really sounded terrible when I placed it close to the head as all these folks have suggested. I tried 2 inches, 3 inches, 4 inches away from the head in the center of the beater....sounded like ass...very muffled....then someone recommended that i back off some....something about low end waves take longer to develope than high end. So I did it....i backed up probably 12 inches from the beater and the differance was UNBELIEVABLE!!! Sounds like a totally different mic now. Its worth a try if you havnt already...
Good luck

The Beta 52 sounds best when stuck just into the hole on the front head, a D112 is different.thajeremy said:

i love negative rep
have you tried it on anything besides kick?
just as an experiment mind you, put it on a git cab, or talk into it.

make sure the problem is with the mic.
