E 602 II : Awesome Mic

Like most mic's designed for bass drums it comes pre EQ'd for a more modern sound which is essentially a mid scoop with some boosting in the high end. This makes it great for almost all modern styles of music, in particular those that need a good amount of attack and low end punch such as pop and rock.

It's also versatile enough to work with many other genres as well in the right placement and I found having it just inside the port hole of a bass drum gives it a nice fuller sound for such styles. Speaking of versatility it also works very well on anything that has a pronounced low end content such as bass guitar, trombone, or even electric guitars that have a lot of low end.

Positioning the mic inside a bass drum can be a bit tricky at first but after a few times doing it it becomes almost second nature. Even though it is a surprisingly lighter mic than you would expect it doesn't feel as though Sennheiser skipped out on build quality. I would happily throw this in a case and take it on the road without any worry of it getting damaged or breaking.

Overall with its great sound, versatility, light weight and ruggedness I would recommend this mic to anyone.
