Simplicity Meets Professionalism With the e 901, there's no need for elaborate mic stands or risky positioning tricks. Simply place it inside the drum, connect via the built-in XLR, and you're ready. Thanks to its robust construction and slip-free rubber base, it’ll stay locked in place. Built for the Beat Designed to meet the brutal demands of live sound, the e 901 features a rugged, reinforced metal housing that shrugs off stage punishment and heavy bass energy. Its ability to handle extreme SPLs without breaking up ensures that no matter how hard you play, your kick drum sound stays clean, powerful, and precise.
