Wired Instrument Microphones

The e 614 from Sennheiser is a supercardioid electret condenser microphone designed for general recording and sound-reinforcement applications. The e 614 features high SPL handling and fast transient response making it ideal for drums, percussion, bass, guitar, brass and other instruments rich in transient response. The supercardioid polar pattern is effective in minimizing noise and ambiance at the off-axis sections of the microphone capsule. The wide, flat frequency response of 40 Hz to 20 kHz lends itself for use on vocals as well as instruments.

The Sennheiser e 906 is a supercardioid instrument microphone primarily designed for close capturing of guitar cabinets. The e 906 features a dynamic element with a supercardioid polar pattern that provides optimum rejection of off-axis signal and residual noise. The e 906 provides high headroom and low distortion when capturing signals at excessive sound pressure levels. The element responds to very fast attacks with extreme accuracy, without distortion. With its frequency response of 40 Hz to 18 kHz, the e 906 is an excellent choice for guitar cabinets, as well as percussion and brass instruments.

Primarily designed for capturing kick drums and bass guitar cabinets, the Sennheiser E902 excels in reproducing low frequency instruments with incredible richness and detail. The E902 features a dynamic element with a cardioid polar pattern. The dynamic element provides high headroom and low distortion when capturing signals at excessive sound pressure levels. The E902 responds to very fast attacks with extreme accuracy, without distortion. Low frequency response is optimized allowing the E902 to excel in reproducing kick drum, bass amplifiers, acoustic bass, tuba, timpani and much more.
