E 602 II : Great Value Kick Mic

In some cases, I prefer this microphone to a Shure Beta52 or Audix D6 or AKG D112, and it's a considerable amount cheaper!

I haven't been able to try it on anything other than a Kick, but I also combine it with the t.Bone MB75, with 602 just inside the hole, and the MB75 on the back pointing right where the beater hits, and flip the polarity. Once gated and compressed right, this makes an incredibly punch live kick drum.

The only downside is that it can sometimes be hard to gate this mic properly when you have a loud stage, as it does pick up more sound from behind in comparison to others, but I guess this is probably why it is cheaper, and sounds as good, if not better than more expensive alternatives.
