E 602 II : An excellent choice for bass drum

11 years ago

I own a number of mics that I mainly use on the bass drum and the E602 is definitely one of my favourites. If I'm restricted to one mic on the bass drum, for contemporary music in a live setting I tend to go for mics that have been "pre EQ'd", like the Audix D6, or, in now, the E602. It has a very pleasant boost to the low end and doesn't sound quite so "clicky" out front as the D6. I've also used it mounted internally to work alongside my Porter and Davies BC2 and it works tremendously well in that capacity. For recording work, I've used it in conjuction with a boundary mic to provide some really quite remarkable bass drum sounds. I highly recommend giving this mic a go. Excellent value for money and I feel it's a very versatile option.
