Proel CM602. Discreet Condenser Microphone. Great Performance. Incredible Price.
Condenser mics tend to be more sensitive and have an extended high frequency response than dynamic microphones which makes them more suitable for instruments that have more high frequency content (hi-hats and cymbals) or quieter type instruments such as acoustic guitars and percussion.
The CM602's compact dimensions and discreet looks mean that you can get them into tight, awkward spaces without too much trouble and the black matt finish means that they do not reflect stage lights and so remain unobtrusive.
We took three to one of our regular gigs (we do sound hire as well as sales) and checked them out.
The CM602 sounded excellent on hi-hats. Crisp and clear without any distortion. They make very good drum overheads far out performing similarly priced dynamic type mics. Fortunately, one of the bands was using a set of congas and in this role they really excelled. Again, far more sensitive and with much better high frequency detail than similarly priced dynamic mics.
Throughout the check, we found the CM602 produced enough sound and gain for all the applications without feedback. The tight cardioid polar pattern obviously helps in this department.
We'd recommend checking out the CM602. The price makes them very affordable and may allow users on tighter budgets to replace some of their mics where they've been employing cheaper dynamic type mics where they're not well suited, such as overheads, acoustic guitars, etc.
Condenser microphones tend not to be quite as rugged and robust as their dynamic counterparts, so we would recommend they are kept in a nice quality foam lined case, and, as with all mics, avoid dropping them!.
