602-II
The cardioid 602-II is a dynamic microphone especially
suitable for use with kick drums, bass guitar cabs, tubas
and other low frequency instruments.
Its lightweight high-performance voice coil construction
delivers fast transient signals. The low frequency
extension and mid band attenuation produce an ultra-
smooth pre-shaped signal. The microphone is ideal for
direct use on the most problematic bass signal sources.

Positioning the microphone
Kick drums
In order to prevent interference due to crosstalk between
adjacent sound sources, try to position the microphone so
that the interfering sound source is located in the angle
area of the highest cancellation of the microphone
(approx. 180°; see polar diagram).
Position Resulting sound Commentary
Much attack,
little resonance,
dry
Position the microphone
at a distance of a few
centimeters from the
batter head.
Less attack,
much resonance,
smooth,
voluminous
Position the microphone
at the level of the
resonant head.
Less attack Position the microphone
in the middle between
the batter head and the
re-sonant head. For less
attack in all three
positions,
turn the microphone
away from where the
beater strikes.
