E 602 II : Built-in modern kick sound

The audio profile is quite scooped and on a kick drum, this results in a punchy, modern sound. Emphasis is on the attack and low end, the mids are not very present at all. If you're looking for an easy way to achieve a good, modern, punchy rock/metal kick sound, this will do the trick with almost no need for processing. However, if you want a versatile microphone or a more natural/vintage sound, you might prefer other options. For me, this was a clear choice over the standard D112 or Beta91.

Build quality is high - it's sturdy and seems road-worthy. The cable connection is solid and placement is okay. You may have to pay extra attention to where the cable sits if you want to place the mic inside the kick through a port on the front, but I guess that may be an issue with any mic at certain positions.
