Pros & Cons

Pros

  • ✓ Tuned low-end response built for kick drums, bass amps, and trombone
  • ✓ Capsule rated for extreme SPL, so close-miking a kick drum won't overload it
  • ✓ Built-in hum compensation coil rejects EMC noise from nearby stage gear
  • ✓ Cardioid pattern cuts feedback and bleed from instruments behind the mic
  • ✓ Die-cast metal body and wire-mesh cap survive load-in and load-out abuse

Cons

  • ✗ Single-purpose low-frequency voicing, not a general vocal or overhead mic
  • ✗ Cardioid-only; no switchable polar patterns for varied placement
  • ✗ No onboard pad or low-cut filter to shape the signal at the mic
  • ✗ Requires a mic stand and XLR cable, neither of which is included

Manufacturer description

The Perception P2 high performance dynamic bass microphone delivers a profound, high energy low end for use on kick drums, trombones and bass amps. Its cardioid polar pattern reduces feedback and crosstalk coming from other instruments behind the microphone. The Perception P2 comes in a rugged, all metal housing to withstand tough on the road conditions. An integrated stand adapter makes the microphone very easy to use. The package also includes a carrying case for safe transport and storage.
