Of them all, the 868 provides the attack and low end resonance that get's it done for me and my clients. I use the D112 for jazz, the Beta 52 for metal, sometimes the Re20 for rok but for 90% of my projects, it's the 868. And another gazillion times...YMMV. |
I've always hated the D112, I have a D12e that sounds a million times better.
I was using either a D12e or a beyer M88 for kick. I got a d6 last year, and so far
its been fine. It's the first mic that really sounds right inside the kick, I don't need any eq on the way in.
