The D112 always needs the low mids taken out in the eq. But the beta52 doesn't have the crystal top that the D112 does. errrrrrr
For more of an old school sounding kick, I think the beta 52 is pretty good and "pillow-ish".
I think in order to achieve a modern metal kick, I think I may be better off dropping the money for a D6.
You may be able to get a better sound if you use both the mics you mentioned on the same kick....the D6 about 3 inches from the front, and the beta 52 a few feet back from that?
I surley don't mean to argue, but I don't think the d12 has a crystal top...more of a honking midrange.
If you are in a position to experiment with more samples, please post them.
Thanks!thumbsup
