  • Dynamic Supercardioid Guitar Amplifier Microphone

Description

Sennheiser e609 Silver Dynamic Instrument Microphone; Based on the legendary Sennheiser MD 409. Able to withstand high SPLs without distorting, the e609 Silver's flat-profile capsule allows extremely close miking of guitar cabinets and precise drum miking, particularly toms. The e609 Silver's super-cardioid design improves isolation while its increased output and wider frequency response improves performance. Its sound inlet basket, made of refined steel, is distinguished by a unique silver address side. Sennheiser Evolution e609 Silver Features Metal construction - rugged and reliable Super-cardioid pick-up pattern provides isolation from other on-stage signals Hum compensating coil reduces electrical interference Neodynum ferrous magnet with boron keeps mic stable regardless of climate. From the Manufacturer The e 609 has an excellent transient response. Its laterally mounted capsule has been specially developed for miking guitar cabs face on and extremely close to the signal source. The e 609 is also suitable for drum miking, particularly toms, where the microphone's profile allows the capsule to be positioned close to the drum skin.

    • It’s a Dream!
This mic is a dream for micing my 30w Peavey Classic. I’ve spent years cultivating a guitar tone that I love and was so pleased to find that this mic captures it exactly as it sounds out of my amp. So easy to use, great isolation too.

    • If you mic guitar amps, you need this.
This thing is just a DREAM for micing guitar amps, especially "problematic" cabs. My main amp (Peavey Delta Blues) uses a 15" speaker. Trying to mic it with an SM-57 or similar is always a compromise of what kind of coloration I'm willing to accept. Hours of recording time and fiddling with placement did eventually allow me to discover a sweet spot. But even then, trying to place such a tiny capsule on a speaker larger than 10" never gets me close to the natural sound of the amp. Something is always hyped or missing. It's always a hunt for the least bad placement. If you're reading this, you're probably familiar with what I'm describing. The e609 is the opposite of that situation. You can just about throw it in the general direction of an amp and get a decent sound. Slap it right up against the grill, halfway between the edge of the dust cap and edge of the speaker cone and you're set. Use a stand or hang it over the cab. The thing is just remarkably un-picky. It's very easy to use to get a relatively transparent representation of what the amp actually sounds like with minimal fuss. A couple things to note: It's light. I dig it, especially since it spends a lot of time dangling from a mic cable. More weight would probably be bad. It is a little on the bright side, but nothing unreasonable or difficult to manage. The housing around the grill is plastic. Seems sturdy enough, but maybe don't use it as a hammer. The included mic clip is SUPER TIGHT. I suspect this is among the reasons you always find 609s hanging from a cable, even if an extra stand is available. ... show more

    • Excellent tool for micing your amp.
This item is great for mic’ing my small amplifier through the sound system. I’m not sure why anyone would need them more expensive version for this purpose. Anyway, I’m very pleased with it.

    • Great Value and Records the True Tone of your Amp
For 80 bucks this mic was a steal. I love my Traynor amp and this Mic really captures the tone pretty much exactly as it sounds out of the speaker. It's really easy to set up and requires no stand so works exactly as advertised, though the chord does twist up a little so I find it works best with some masking tape applied to hold it in place. I've even tried it as a vocal mic and it's doable, but I wouldn't necessarily recommend it for that. I compared against an SM57 and I think this one sounded slightly better and is easier to use as well. ... show more

    • Great mic for guitar cabs, super easy to use!
This is such a great guitar amp mic. Easy to use, just drape it over the front of your cabinet silver side in, or you can use it with a stand. First let me say what this mic is not: It's not a Shure 57. If you looked at a Shure 57 and thought "Everyone uses those, I should do some research!" and you have watched all the youtube videos showing you how to earn your degree in Shure 57 mic placement to get a killer tone out of one and you are ready to put your skills to the test, go for it. Amazon sells those, too. Or..... You can just lay this thing on the grille cloth about right where the dust cap (that dome in the center) meets the cone, and get a great sound. If you want it a bit warmer, move more toward the cone/edge, if you want it brighter, move toward the dust cap. About half way for a start, and it sounds pretty damn good, without all the fuss that a 57 takes. Does it sound as good as the 57? I think so. And without anywhere near as much fiddling around. I use mine at a "Loud enough, but not so loud the cops are coming" volume and I have no issues getting the tone I hear in the room coming out of my amp reproduced in the DAW. ... show more

    • Does the job. Good price
It is not the best instrument microphone I’ve ever had but I like the way it hangs down. I still like the shure sm57 better for my go too. So I use 2 microphones.

    • Good utility mic for the price
Super convenient mic, good for many applications. Sound quality is good but not the best, the e906 is a huge upgrade in sound for not that much money

    • Great mic for guitar and bass amps
These were recommended to me by a sound professional who uses them almost exclusively for mic'ing guitar amps and bass amps at live gigs. His comment about them is that they are as good for the job as a Shure SM58, but a lot easier to place. He just drops them over the front of amps and secures the cable with a little duct tape to the amp. I compared mine to SM58 and while I can hear a tiny bit more high end on the Shure, but not enough to make any difference to me. I now have two of these in my music room, permanently hanging in front of my amps and they will be used for all of my guitar and bass recording. Oh... the only negative I can find is that the mic clips for stand mounting simply can't be used with these microphones. The clips that came with the mics are far too small. And the mic bases are too small to snugly fit into a SM58 sized clip. I have some aftermarket mic clips that use a clothespin type of holder that will hold them. I won't need the clips, but if you do, it is something to be aware of. ... show more
