Sennheiser Professional e 609 Silver Super-Cardioid Instrument Microphone,Wired, Wireless

Perfection, for the money, sound quality is amazing, no stand needed light weight hang upside down from my combo amp. Looks amazing. I don’t know about durability yet, used it at 3-4 shows.

I like the square onesided pickup of this mic, great for amps drums and piano

Great quality and performance

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.

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.

Adds a great low end and captures a wide range in frequency, im pairing this with a Shure SM57 on the middle of one speaker and the e609 on the outer edge of the other speaker. Sounds amazing!

Using a Fender Blues Jr amp, I compared the tonal response between the e609 and a Shure SM57. The e609 has slightly higher mid range response and a better humbucking quality to it, but the SM57 captures a large range of frequencies, particularly for cleaner guitar sounds, i.e., makes the sound a little fuller.. The ease with which to use the e609 with an amp (just hang it over the top; I use velcro to keep it in place) is a plus, however. The biggest con I found is that I am not getting very much signal through it when recording through a presonus DAW, requiring me to crank the amp to volumes that are pretty loud. The SM57 wins in that aspect, but not by much. Decent mic, but probably not the answer in the quest for the greatest tone ever.

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.

Excellent microphone for the price. It is very good at cutting out any frequencies behind the diaphragm. This makes it excellent for live applications with instruments or even voice. it might not be a really high end, vocal mic, but in the considerations of using it for the live floor recordings it is excellent and can make a very passible master track ( with very little bleed!). Well worth of money.

Tengo este micrófono desde 2019 y me ha salido buenísimo, excelente sonido, durable, sencillo, fácil de usar y versátil.

仕事が早くなります。 お勧めです。

come viene descritto , da consigliare!

Ich habe das Mikro im Rahmen der Preissenkung gekauft für 79€. Bereits vorher lag es in meiner Wunschliste bei verschiedenen Versandhändlern, aber der psychologische Preis von über 100€ hatte mich immer gehindert. Nun, für unter 80€ kann man eigentlich nicht mehr zögern. Die Funktion und die Qualität kann man überall nachlesen, ich kann dem nur zustimmen. Parallel nutze ich auch ein Superlux PRA 628 MKII, das dem Sennheiser sehr ähnlich ist (und auch nur die Hälfte kostet), aber nicht ganz an das E609 herankommt. Es gibt einige Videos über die Unterschiede - beide klingen gut, aber nicht gleich, am Ende mag ich das Sennheiser lieber. Ich lasse es über ein Kabel vor einen Fender Deluxe Reverb baumeln und ab und zu vor einem Gretsch 5222, dafür ist es perfekt.
