Description

The Micpro team take a look at the Sennheiser E906 Dynamic Instrument Mic by Sennheiser, available in the Uk from a UK supplier & UK Warranty.

The supercardioid E906 instrument microphone was specially designed for guitar amplifiers, but it is also an excellent choice for percussion and brass instruments.

Key Features

• Lively, full sound
• Very fast attack
• Flat shape of microphone body perfect for guitar amps 
• Three adjustable sound characteristics (bright, normal, smooth)
• Hum compensating coil
• Rugged metal body
• Includes MZQ 100 clamp & Pouch

Here's What Sennheiser Say: 

A more direct sound – more directly from the amp.

The e 906 captures the guitar sound just as you want it to be: from clean to distorted, from gentle to aggressive. It provides a high-resolution, natural sound without unwanted coloration. The transient response of the e 906 convinces in every style: it even transmits riffs with an extremely hard punch directly and straightforward.

The microphone features a switchable presence filter with three sound characteristic options: one to boost the presence range, one for "normal" presence and one to attenuate the presence range. Thanks to its flat shape, it can be positioned in front of the amp hanging from its cable – completely without a stand. Not to mention its distinctly rugged design.
