Sennheiser is now shipping the e 602 II cardioid dynamic microphone - 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.

Featuring a more robust yet lightweight aluminum housing - more than 40 percent lighter than its predecessor - the e 602 II provides greater stability when positioned on a long boom arm. The 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, fast transient response and extended low-frequency response. The mic is ideal for use on the most problematic bass signal sources, and its frequency independent directivity provides isolation from other on-stage signals.

Housed in a rugged, lightweight, aluminum body, the e 602 II features a hum-compensating coil to help eliminate electrical interference, an integrated stand-mount and protective pouch.

Sennheiser is also introducing the new Kickpack II (which replaces the popular Kickpack). The Kickpack II includes a short boom stand, 25-foot XLR cable and the e 602 II microphone.

MSRP: (e 602 II) $289.00
(Kickpack) $379.00
