Sennheiser E906

Description

Essential Information About the Sennheiser E906 Supercardioid Dynamic Microphone

  • Flat profile optimized for guitar amps: can be positioned in one gesture, even suspended by the XLR cable, without a microphone stand.
  • Switchable presence filter to instantly adapt the tone to your instrument and the acoustics.
  • Supercardioid directionality for excellent source isolation and effective stage noise rejection.
  • Shockproof construction made in Germany, with accessories included for immediate use.

A Modern Standard for Guitar Amps and Beyond

Designed for real-world stages, the Sennheiser E906 is established as a reference for faithfully capturing the character of a guitar amp, even with heavy distortion. Its robust design and field ergonomics make it a reliable tool, equally comfortable on stage and in the studio.

Who Is It For and What Are Its Uses?

Guitarists, drummers, live sound engineers, and studio recordists will appreciate its ultra-fast setup, precise sound image, and ability to handle high levels. The E906 excels close to an amp speaker but is also great on toms, snare drums, percussion, and percussive sources requiring precise focus.

What Sets the E906 Apart

Quick Placement on Guitar Amps

Thanks to its flat shape, the E906 rests against a speaker grille or can hang by the XLR cable for stable, repeatable positioning without a bulky mic stand.

Instant Sound Adaptation

The switchable presence filter refines the clarity or smoothness of your highs depending on style, amp, or room, delivering a recording ready for mixing.

Focus and Signal Cleanliness

The supercardioid pattern isolates the targeted source and effectively limits bleed from other instruments and monitors, ensuring a clean and controlled sound.

Tour-Grade Durability

Its shockproof construction, German manufacturing, and high output level guarantee reliability, consistency, and presence night after night.

Super versatile microphone that I use for sax (studio and a bit of live) and electric guitar to mic in front of various tube amps. Handles high volumes well and always with detail. Very satisfied!

Good products have a cost. This microphone is of good quality for a reasonable price. I use it to record myself on the saxophone. The sound is good but I don't have another microphone to compare.

Excellent! Tested in concert setting, the guitar amp sound output (well saturated) seems very close.
