The Audix D4 dynamic microphone from Audix uses an entirely new capsule specially designed to capture high SPL instruments with extended frequencies below 100Hz.

D4 Professional Instrument Microphone

The D4 is a premium American-made dynamic microphone designed specifically for live performance. Its hypercardioid pickup pattern offers exceptional off-axis rejection, while the wide frequency response of 40 Hz to 18 kHz ensures crisp and accurate low-frequency reproduction—ideal for drums, brass, and other instruments requiring clarity and detail.

Crafted for durability, the D4 features a dent-resistant spring steel grill and an aluminium housing with a sleek black E-coat finish. It handles sound pressure levels exceeding 144 dB without distortion, making it perfect for high-volume environments from intimate coffee houses to large stadium stages.

With a transformerless design, low impedance, and balanced output, the D4 delivers interference-free sound even over long cable runs. Its rugged build and professional specifications make it a reliable choice for both live and studio use.
