help Sennheiser e 602-II FAQ
Is the Sennheiser e 602-II only for kick drums?
No. Sennheiser also specifies it for bass cabinets, tubas, and other low-frequency instruments, although kick drum is its best-known application.
What frequency range does the e 602-II capture?
Its published response extends from 20 Hz to 16 kHz. The contour is voiced to provide low-frequency weight and attack without requiring the same amount of equalization as a general-purpose vocal microphone.
Does the e 602-II need phantom power?
No. It is a dynamic cardioid microphone and operates through a standard three-pin XLR connection without 48-volt phantom power.
How does the e 602-II differ from the AKG D112 or Shure Beta 52A?
All three are dynamic microphones designed for bass-heavy sources, but each has a different factory frequency contour. The e 602-II uses an integrated stand mount and weighs about 318 grams, making it relatively easy to position on a boom inside or in front of a kick drum.
