Audix D2 and D4

How do these suckers sound? How do they compare to the EV N/D468 or 421's?

I use them both(inside the toms) to me, they both reveal the sound source as though it really is. great mics and are physically very tough! money well spent! I prefer them to the 421's (which I also have) The audix seem to EQ cleaner in the mix, if that makes any sense? -klauth.

We've switched from the 421's to the D2 and D4. Much, much easier to deal with, and they sound every bit as good if not better.

I've used them and I'm a big Audix fan but honestly, I loved the little clip on sennheisers much better. They're all great mics though.

I use D-2's on rack toms and D-4's on floor toms and love them. The "clean eq" statement is a very good one as they are very plyable if that makes any sense. They just seem to cut through and sound very big

love D4 on toms

D4 by audix.

Get some and give them a try, I love them and I do think the sound a lot like 421's.


D2 vs D4:

To me the D2 sounds like a band passed D4. so... I'd rather have the full range out of the D4.

I like the Audix D2 and D4 mics, but I also love my MD421s! They all have their uses, depending on the kit/song/style/drummer...blah...blah...blah.

The D2s on the smaller ride toms really impress me, and I can get some great rock tom sounds out of them.

D2's and D4's are much more diverse/usable with many different sounding drum kits than the 421's...IMO. The 421 is a great mic, but it can be a bit fussy with certain drum tones.
