The frequency response and cardioid pick-up pattern are optimized for drum sets and other percussion instrument miking, while also producing exceptional results on all forms of brass and woodwind. An integral stand mount screws directly onto mic stands and included clip attaches mic to rim of drum. Very high sound pressure level handling, in excess of 160 dB, is combined with a balanced, clear, low distortion signal similar to a high-end studio condenser microphone. Lightweight voice coil provides extended high frequency and rapid transient response. A tough reinforced glass fiber body takes the knocks and shocks and suppresses impact noise.The cardioid 604 is a dynamic microphone suitable for miking drums, percussions as well as brass and woodwind instruments. The frequency response and cardioid pick-up pattern are optimised for use with snares and toms. The mic has a very high sound pressure handling capability (in excess of 160 dB). The sound inlet basket is made from stainless steel. The integral stand mount screws directly onto mic stands or to the supplied microphone clamp. The clamp allows the microphone to be directly attached to the rim of the instrument.
