Description

The E602 is a cardioid microphone especially suitable for use with bass drums, bass guitar cabs, tubas and other low frequency instruments.  Lightweight yet rugged the e602 is a workhorse mic for the lower frequency dominated instruments  and is equally great for low percussion due to its fast transient response. Now in its second generation, the E602 MK2 is now 40% lighter than its predecessor, allowing you to mount the mic onto the end of a long boom arm without drooping.

The E602 features a hum compensating coil and frequency independent directivity, giving a clean and isolated signal in tough live environments. The capsule is shock mounted and offers a fast attack with an extended low frequency response. The result is a mic that gives a kick drum plenty of punch and a bass guitar a warm smooth and articulate tone.

Features:

  • Dynamic instrument microphone with cardioid polar pattern
  • Rugged, lightweight aluminium body
  • Lightweight high-performance voice coil construction
  • Fast transient response
  • Low frequency extension
  • Frequency-independent directivity
  • Humbucking coil

Bass Drums

Bass drums provide the low-end foundation of a drum kit, delivering the power and pulse that drive rhythm and lock in with the bass line. They shape the feel and momentum of the music, from tight, punchy grooves to deep, resonant impact, making them a central part of any setup.

When choosing a bass drum, look at size, shell material, and depth, as these affect tone and response. Larger diameters offer deeper, fuller low end, while smaller sizes give quicker attack and control. Shell construction influences warmth and projection, and head choice and dampening will further shape the sound. The right bass drum should match your playing style and sit well within your overall kit sound.

Bass Drum

The bass drum is the low-frequency engine of a drum kit, providing the weight and pulse that anchor the rhythm and drive the music forward. Played with a foot pedal, it works closely with the bass line to define groove and timing, with tone shaped by drum size, head choice, tuning, and muffling. From deep, resonant thumps to tight, punchy attack, the bass drum is central to the feel and impact of almost every style of music.
