Sennheiser e602 II Evolution Series Dynamic Bass-drum Microphone

This is an excellent kick drum mic. I needed an affordable kick drum microphone to replace my AKGD112 and this was a better fit considering my old one did not have a clip that worked with it and the sound was miles different comparatively.

i seen the reviews, i figured i could use a backup mic in case my shure 52 beta breaks. well, im sold on the e602. i use this one every time now, clearly a difference in cleaner lows, punchy, responsive, overall sound.

This kick drum mic sounds 'just right' out of the box - it has a very pleasing character. I much prefer it to the Shure Beta 52 and AKG D112, especially when placed outside the drum that is not ported. I only wish that the stand adapter threads were brass, but it is an acceptable tradeoff given the affordable price.

Love it! I had no idea what a dedicated bass drum mic could do. I've tried expensive and great condenser and dynamic mics, but could not get a usable kick sound.. With no eq, this thing sounds perfect. Huge amounts of sub and lows, with the perfect amount of upper mid and treble edge to make those lows make sense. I think it's accurately capturing my bass drum sound, something a regular mic just cannot do, no matter how you try to eq it. This one purchase improved my recordings crazily, it's so important. Put mine inside, aimed at the beater, about 6" away. Captures an incredible kick sound all by itself. Can't compare it to the akg, but I have to say I wouldn't trade this sennheiser ever, it's perfect.

These sound really nice inside bass drums. Compared to Audix D6 they have a little more high end frequencies and I'd say the bottom end is similar. It's almost plug-and-play as there's no need to wrestle with it during mixing. For those who want a punchy sound out of the box, this fits the bill. If you put some compression, a mild enveloper and almost zero EQ, you'll have a killer sounding bass drum for rock and metal. I'll keep my D6 mics as backups for now. They both sound good for what they are intended to.

Its a good mic on my bass cabinet but I do agree with other reviewers in that it is a bit bright. However, it doesn't require alot of eq to get it to sound exactly like the tone that's coming out of your amp. I ran it into a pro mpa preamp and then to a compressor but skipped the eq on my rack and went straight into my multitrack. I was able to get my tone right where I wanted it making adjustments on the amp. I found it was slightly different from other mics in that I got the most accurate tone almost dead center to the dust cap and at least 6 inches away from the grill cloth. Worth the money for sure.

Good Mike for kick drum or Cajon. Nor as good a shure beta 52, but does cost as much either

Solo sin ecualizador ni compresor suena espectacular

Worth every penny. Excellent bass drum mike. Gives you the ability to record a good deep bass drum sound so that it doesn't sound like you are banging on a shoe box in your recordings. Solid construction. 5/5 stars.

Top sound

One of the best mic for bass recording..best for who wanna record crystal clear sound of bass .. it's bommm.. amazing. Go for it.. much better than shure..

Lo utilizo para sonoizar un guitarron en vivo y es super genial, captura todas las freuencias graves sin saturar. Es super cardioide, es decir tienes que estar muy cerca y apuntarle bien sino deja de captar pero eso si, evita muy bien los ruidos laterales.

He tenido otros micrófonos de bombo y este es el que más me gusta, capta las frecuencias graves con gran fidelidad. Solo tengan cuidado de los clones, compren en tiendas oficiales pues la diferencia entre un original y un clon es abismal. Ultra recomendado
