Toms and snare need more midrange and high-frequency content to really punch through, and the e604 delivers. The e604 is a high-SPL handling (more than 150dB) cardioid microphone, optimized for use on drum sets and other percussion miking applications. The e604 microphone actually comes with an integrated, pivoting mount that can screw directly onto mic stands or attach to the rim of a drum, making setup very efficient. A balanced, clear, low-distortion signal from the e604 is similar to a high-end studio condenser microphone. A lightweight voice coil provides extended high frequency and rapid transient response. This quality drum mic is housed in a tough, reinforced glass fiber body designed to suppress impact noise. If you're looking to mic your toms or snare, the e604 is a dynamic mic ready for the job.
