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

I use this mic for guitar cabinet's in live recording sessions. To me and many engineers I've worked with, it sounds slightly better than a SM57. I bit more body and fullness. A very well made mic that sounds great and is worth every penny.

I used an SM 57 for years, but picked one of these up on the recommendation of a friend that runs sound. In a live setting, I was not expecting much but my stage mix is much clearer and I always get compliments from folks on my tone in the house mix. You can’t get a better recommendation than that!

Super little mic works great

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.

Buy when the price is right. Classic amp mic that any sound engineer will recommend. Even simpler/easier than sm57 since it can be hung over the amp with no stand. Every guitarist should just buy one and throw it in their gig bag.

One of the best guitar mics available. No need for a stand!

Great mic to use on amp cabs. Surprised the Sennheiser box it came in was not wrapped up, but was an open box that even the flap wasn't taped down.

Cheaper version of e906. Still sounds great on guitar cabs if you want something more affordable than e906. Like how you can hang them over cabs and don’t need a mic stand (pro tip - leave the mic clips on to prevent rotation.)

楽器用、特にアンプの音に最適化されているようです。とはいえ、ヴォーカルもチューニングフォークもキレイに録音できました。配信にも使えるレベルです。定番の高額なダイナミックマイクとは違ったビジュアルなので、動画配信でもかっこよさそうです。

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.

nice mic, I absolutely love it

Received it before the delivery date, perfectly content with what I got and the packing. No complaints what so ever!
