902
High-quality dynamic microphone with cardioid pick-up
pattern, especially suitable for use with kick drums, bass
guitar cabs, tubas and other low frequency instruments.
The extremely thin, high-strength diaphragm delivers a
very low bass response and fast transient signals.
Incidental rear noise is effectively rejected.

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°).
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
resonant head. For
less attack in all
three positions, turn
the microphone
away from where
the beater strikes.
