Audix f6

Hypercardioid Dynamic Microphone

The Audix f6 is a large-diaphragm dynamic for kick drum.

The f6 is part of the new “fusion” series, a lower cost alternative to the company’s popular D series microphones. The previous fusion series was built overseas, the new line is assembled and tested in USA.

Electronic Musician, 2011
Designed expressly for kick drums, the f6 has a huge scoop in the midrange, so it provides plenty of low end with a rising high end around 5kHz that captures the beater attack on each hit — without the midrange mush. The net effect is an aggressive kick sound that’s reminiscent of a Shure Beta 52. Like its sibling, the Audix D6, there’s little need to add EQ with the f6 on kick; it’s plug-and-play, giving you exactly what you need in a hurry.
