The D112 MkII professional dynamic bass drum microphone features a new integrated flexible mount, while retaining all the sonic strengths that have made it's predecessor the industry-standard. Over the years the D112 has earned a well-deserved reputation as one of the best bass drum microphones ever made, for its high SPL capability, punchy EQ and bulletproof construction. The D112 MkII can handle more than 160 dB SPL without distortion. Its large diaphragm has a very low resonance frequency that delivers a solid and powerful response below 100 Hz. Its authoritative low end is complemented by a narrow-band presence boost at 4 kHz that punches through even dense mixes and loud stage volumes with forceful impact. One of the many reasons artists and sound engineers love the D112 MkII is that it requires no additional EQ to sound just right as soon as you bring up the fader. Further refining its performance, the D112 MkII features an integrated hum-compensation coil that keeps noise to an absolute minimum. In addition to being an exceptional bass drum mic on stage and in the studio, the D112 MkII is an excellent choice for miking electric bass cabinets and trombones.

AKG D112 MK IIBeen recording my BD with a large condenser microphone and wanted to try a dynamic just to get less bleed. Very good quality for the price with AKG classic.
I have used this microphone to record bass guitar in my home studio - it's not the greatest sound in the world (somewhat boomy and characterless), but my bass amp is not the biggest. I think with a bit of experimentation I could make it sound better, and when blended with the DI signal from the bass it sounds a lot better. So I will definitely persist with this microphone, but perhaps I need to spend a bit more money if I want a truly professional sound from the microphone alone. (I realise that this microphone is designed with bass drums in mind, but plenty of people seem to have used it to record bass guitar as well). It's certainly built sturdily enough.
Buying a renowned bass drum mic at this price is astonishing, almost every studio goto Bd mic. Not much more I can say, if your Bd tuned, heads in good condition and understand mic placement, dampening, you cannot go wrong. I use very little to no eq pending location, has all the punch and clarity you can wish for. The only disappointment is no protective hard case, although I transferred the original foam packing into a small hard case. Highly Recommend!
