Sennheiser introduces Evolution 602 II

UK - Sennheiser has introduced the e 602 II cardioid dynamic microphone to its line-up of evolution series microphones as a successor to the popular e 602. The e 602 II is designed especially for use with kick drums, bass guitar cabs, tubas and other low-frequency instruments. More than 40% lighter than its predecessor, it features a more robust, lightweight aluminium housing which allows for greater stability when positioning the microphone on a long boom arm. The shock-mounted capsule offers a fast attack, coupled with an extended low-frequency response, enabling the e 602 II to provide smooth, deep and clear reproduction of bass instruments for sound reinforcement and recording applications.

The e 602 II features lightweight, high-performance voice coil construction, a shock-mounted capsule, fast transient response and extended low-frequency response. The mic is suitable for use on the most problematic bass signal sources, say the company, and its frequency independent directivity provides isolation from other on-stage signals. Housed in a rugged, lightweight, aluminium body, the e 602 II features a hum-compensating coil to help eliminate electrical interference, an integrated stand-mount and protective pouch.
