CMC6 « Unknown ... unfortunately! »
Published on 01/04/11 at 14:47hemi-cardioid condenser microphone for kick drum, substantially the same use as the best known of Shure beta91. A little big, it is sometimes difficult to pass through the vent of the skin of GC (when it is pierced). For cons, the XLR plug that fits directly into the microphone, it's really fucking better than Shure (I already had a problem with mini-XLR broke on it ... impossible to troubleshoot quickly).
What more ... a micro very well oriented to the bass drum, a little penalized by its physical form (but it's OK!).
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for over 3 years, I know many of the dedicated drum mics, and I confess that the E901 ... I love it! we can define a micro plug & play live, and you plug it plays.
The sound is really clear, dry (a bit too much for some, especially for reggae or any other music or bass drum has to drag a little), is obtained with frequency balance all wealth, infrastructure for the attack .
If you want to go into detail (studio or live or you have time) the position plays a lot on sound, it can be successfully treated with EQ, compressor, I almost never used with gate.
I often enjoy when I'm welcome to try other mics, but rarely found better. Moreover, I often convert the colleague who hosts!
In the studio very well also. use in my palette: pop / rock, metal, country, jazz ... Actually, when it was, the fact that ... really.
I use or have used: beta 52 and 91, D6, D112, E602, SubKick (not alone of course)
In conclusion, a versatile mic for bass drum, if you must have one, I really think this would be it. Sennheiser wind like a bass drum mic and he does really well. With that, and not looking for any versatility, and thinking that perfection is not of this world, I think the score of 9 is well deserved.
Microphone to discover, you will not waste your time!
