  • Supercardioid Dynamic Mic with Three Switchable Presence Settings

Description

The SENNHEISER e906 is a high-quality dynamic microphone with super-cardioid pick-up pattern, ideal for miking guitar amps, percussion instruments, snares and toms. Its laterally mounted capsule has been specially developed for miking guitars amps face on and and extremely close to the signal source. The switchable sound characteristics have been optimally adapted to the requirements of guitarists. The super-cardioid pick-up pattern provides good isolation from other on-stage signals. Due to its flat design, the e906 is also very suitable for use with drums, since it can easily be positioned in cramped space conditions (e.g. below the cymbals). What's in the Box: e 906 microphone, MZQ 100 clamp, pouch, user manual.

    • Absolutely brilliant, lives up to the hype! Super cheap compared to UK and second hand prices! Absolutely brilliant, lives up to the hype! Super cheap compared to UK and second hand prices!
Style: Microphone
Review Image by FrontlineFaith
Excellent bit of kit! I'm from the UK originally and this goes for £200 which is about $230 give or take, I got this for $165, about £125! Which is absolutely crazy! It's exactly what everyone says it is. Great value for money, functions to a high a high standard, captures a nice balance of low mid and highs, compact and small perfect for recording and gigging to avoid being knocked over, subtle too visually Very very happy with it! Just completed my first recording with it and it sounds fantastic, couldn't even tell it was recorded with a mic'd Amp! Record quality in my opinion! Very happy to have it added to my kit collection, I just got signed last year and so bought a new Gibson les Paul, fender jazzmaster, jcm800 set, a bunch of strymon and mxr pedals and now I have this to add to the kit and I'm super happy with it! Just bought a nice hard case for it too for only $8! As it only comes with a soft case which is pretty useless in my opinion lol BUY IT! IT'S A GREAT DEAL WHEN COMPARING TO UK PRICES AND EBEN SECOND HAND PRICES! YOU MAY AS WELL BUY IT NEW FOR THE PRICE! :D ... show more

    • Excellent Guitar / Bass Cabinet Mics!
Style: Microphone
These are my go to mics for guitar and bass cabinets. Hanging them over the cabinet makes setup super easy, gives you more stage room since there are no stands taking up real estate. When you’ve got 6uitarists on a stage at once (yeah, I do a lot of Blues shows), you’ll need that space. :) Compact and sound amazing! ... show more

    • A brighter, clearer alternative to SM57 and other dynamic mics
Style: Microphone
This is the clearest dynamic microphone I've ever heard. I use it to mic amplifiers and will compare it to my go-to dynamic, the SM57. This is not better or worse than an SM57, just different. The 57 has a warmer, sometimes muddier sound which is great for distorted guitars (even edge of breakup tones). The e906 on the other hand is incredibly clear with all of the high end that the 57 is missing. I found it jarring at first as I had never heard my amp through a microphone in that way. The e906 is great if you need to record a guitar tone with a lot of presence. Luckily you can adjust the amount of presence with a little toggle switch that lets you get brighter, darker, or the default sounds from this thing. The flat shape is great for throwing it over an amp and letting it hang right where you want it, as close to the amp grill as you like. But if you prefer using a mic stand there's a clip included. One thing to consider when mic'ing an amp with this is that it's a super-cardioid. So not quite a hypercardioid pattern but not a regular cardioid either. I personally think this amp works best for recording clean amps and it does really well on snares and all sorts of cymbals. It'll do fine on dirtier guitar sounds but to me feels like it's easier to find a position and sound on cleaner amps and drums. ... show more

    • Better than just "better than the e609"
Style: Microphone
Due to having a couple small amps lining the wall and walkway to my desk, I needed a mic solution that prevents anything from sticking out in front of the amp much as possible, no mic stands, no cab grabber. So, I finally put my olde609 to regular use. I was fairly happy with it as far as demos go, but I knew that when it came time to recording an album, if I wanted to continue using those amps and still be able to reach them from my chair, I was going to need something better. I took a chance on the e906, though I doubted it would be much better. I was wrong. In fact I wouldn't so much describe it as sounding better as I would say I know now what the e609 was lacking. The e609 is scooped really wide in the low mids, and heavily notched in about ten more frequency bends from the mids through the highs. I can't speak to the lows since this was just E-standard guitar recording. The important part is that the e906 sounds just like my amp sounds, at least from about 4 feet away and about 3 feet below my ear level. I let it dangle about a quarter inch away from the grill cloth and centered directly in front of the speaker cap (V30 16 ohm). I never place microphones in this position and I've never had a microphone sound so true to what I hear with my own ears from a few feet away. I'm also using a GAP Pre-73 mkIII (gain and vol at 2 o'clock) and a 5 watt Vox-style tube amp with moderate levels of volume and distortion. I absolutely love that I can capture what I hear without compromise or guess-and-check adjustments, and that I can shelf boost the highs in a rock drum mix with complete confidence and satisfaction. ... show more

    • "My "Go-To" Mic for Guitar Cabs
Style: Microphone
The e906 has become my first choice for guitar amps both live and in the studio. If you are thinking of buying a guitar cabinet mic, you've likely narrowed the field down to the SM57, the e609 and this mic, which is the most expensive of the three. So, is it worth the extra money? Compared to the SM57, the answer is 100% yes. Especially if you are recording, the extra frequency response (18kHz vs. 15kHz on the SM57) is a noticeable improvement. The low profile, side address design makes the e906 easy to use and it doesn't get "woofy" even if you hang it over a cabinet right against the grill. It is just as rugged (built like a tank) and versatile (great on snare, toms) as the SM57 and can handle extremely high dB levels like the SM57 but sounds fuller and less harsh than the SM57 IMHO. The question of the e906 vs. the e609 is a little tougher and depends on what you intend to use the mic for. I have not used the newer "Silver" e609s but have used and loved the older black version. Assuming the guts of the e609 and e906 are the same (and I don't know if that is true or not), the extra $$ for the e906 basically buys you a three way presence switch. For me, that was an easy decision since I do a lot of home recording but don't own a lot of high end studio mics. I want each mic I get to be as versatile as possible and if I get a switch to roll of some highs when needed it is well worth it to me. All said, microphone choice depends a lot on personal preferences. However, I can't imagine too many people would be disappointed with the performance and value of the e906. ... show more

    • Great mic, super easy to position!
Style: Microphone
Plugins and IR's sound pretty good these days, but it's still tough to beat a good mic, if you know how to place it. This mic, like the 609 Silver, is extremely easy to place - which can vary a little depending on your style and tone. For me, that's parallel to the grill cloth as close as I can get it, and right about where the dust cap meets the cone. It's hard to get a bad tone out of this mic. Even right on the dust cap, it's not really harsh, but it is bright and lacking mids and bass as you would expect. (Note: I have the 609 Silver as well and find it IS harsh right on the dust cap.) Moving from center toward the edge it become gradually warmer/more mids and lows and the "sweet spot" is about a 2" square. Easy! Bearing in mind that a speaker's true sound is heard with your face/ear right in it, the best way to reproduce that tone is as I said above - just off the dustcap. If you are more of a "my combo is on the floor pointed at my feet and that's the tone I want" guy you can move the mic closer to the outer edge of the speaker to get a warmer tone. Like I said, it's not hard at all to place this mic no matter what you are going for. Is it worth the extra money vs. the 609 Silver? If you're more of a "what the speaker sounds like" guy and you tend to be more "on the dustcap" then absolutely yes. If you are more of a "combo on the floor, move it toward the outer edge to get that warm tone" guy then honestly, probably not. ... show more

    • Versatile, accurate mic!
Style: Microphone
Very pleased with this mic. On a guitar speaker, it is very sensitive to placement, lots of variations in sound. Very musical and pleasant. Also sounds good as a top snare mic. Excellent rear and side sound rejection.

Fantastic on guitar cabs. Hang it over the top of an amp and you don’t need a mic stand (leave the mic clip on to prevent spinning.)
