The E102 is a small-diaphragm back-electret condenser microphone for instrument recording and reinforcement. Its cardioid pattern helps focus pickup, and its high sound-pressure capability makes it useful for cymbals, percussion and drum overheads. It also suits acoustic instruments such as piano, strings and brass when a compact condenser is required.
