  • 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

  • "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

  • Even better than expected!!!!!!
Style: Microphone
Disclaimer: I've been using SM57 and SM58s since first recording in the mid-80s and love the durability and great sound quality. They are great mics and have earned their great reputation. Onto the Sennheiser E906: for a new project using mostly new gear I figured why not try a new mic for my tube amp. I've tried the E609 in the past and wasn't blown away and stuck with the SM57. Not long ago, on a whim, i bought the Sennheiser E906 on Amazon. After several days of recording with the E906 I am honestly VERY IMPRESSED with this mic. The "default" middle-position eq sounds best for my needs, and I"m so pleased with the E906 that I really don't see myself using anything else for quite some time. Highly Recommended!!!!!!!!! ... show more

  • Sounds a bit better than SM57 with no mic stand
Style: Microphone
I got this refurbished from Alto Music through Amazon and got a great deal so based on my experience with Alto Music and a refurbished product I couldn’t be happier! The shipping was quick and you can’t really tell that this was a refurbished product. Looks and performs like new! As for the product itself, I feel like the price is a bit high compared to the SM57 which is very close in sound quality comparison but the E906 sounds just a bit better. I would say the SM57 is a bit more robust in its build quality though. That said the one feature that sets it apart from the SM57 is that it doesn’t require a mic stand and can just be hung over the front of the cab. This makes a significant difference in my studio where I prefer not to have a mic stand in front of the cab. Great product! ... show more

  • I Love It!
Style: Microphone
Like many I've been using the industry standard SM57 & SM58 mic's for my guitar amp for decades and they're considered industry standard for a good reason, but I think think the e906 just might be setting a new standard! It may be a little more expensive than the Shures (well ok almost twice as much), but it's so easy to place (put it slightly off the cone) and man does it sound good! What's coming out of the out fronts sounds exactly the same as what's coming out of my amp. I couldn't be any happier! You won't be disappointed. ... show more

  • I was looking for a good quality mic and a reasonable price
Style: Microphone
I was looking for a good quality mic and a reasonable price, and the Sennheiser e906 fit the bill. I researched a few others, and have owned many of the classic cab mics over the years and thought this might be a good option with my renewed interest in recording at home. It's whisper quiet with most ambient/surrounding noises and really picks up the highs, mids, and lows that my guitars scream out. Play around with placement to get that sound you want. Currently I'm hanging it over a Line6 Spider IV 150w combo and it really sucks up the sound with minimal to no clipping if I set my guitar's tone knobs, mixing board, and DAW to my liking. I will tinker with some of my older Fender and Marshall tube setups down the road, but am happy with the sounds that I'm getting out of my solid state Spider right now. I would definitely buy this mic again without hesitation. ... show more
