Sennheiser E906 Cardioid Guitar Microphone

I have a Hammond Xk5 with lower manual. I drug around a Hammond A-102 on the road for a long time. With it, I also had my Leslie 122 (same one as now). After trying several microphones, on the Leslie, I decided to use the e906 on the horn and a Shure SM57 on the bottom rotor. Great combination.

We purchased this piece to mic a guitar amp and we are VERY pleased with the results. Thick, clear sound quality with lots of dbs before any distortion is evident. The price was excellent but honestly I would have paid full retail to get the results. Great microphone!

I like it specially mix together with SM57. In fact, I had it once, but needed to sell. Now I'm getting it again.

Used the 906 to mic my Masa Boogie Mark IV in the studio. Incredible difference in sound quality compared to other mics we used. Now I have to go back a rerecord all my guitar parts! Great mic.

Can't say enough about the quality and ruggedness of this microphone. I love the fact you can just hang the mic over the top of the amp. No loss of tone. In fact, with the 3 position switch on the mic, you can shape the sound you're looking for.

Light and small and often does not require a mic stand.

I had the opportunity to try the Sennheiser e906, Telefunken M80, Sennheiser MD421 and AKG C 414 XLS. In addition I have a modded U87ai and M149. Of all the mics above I preferred the Sennheiser e906 on my particular guitar cabinet (Blackstar HT5) and guitar (vigier excalibur).

Clear and accurate representation of the source (guitar amp, in this case), easy to get a good placement. Have used live, but excited to hear how it works when recording.

I bought to of these to run as a stereo pair for guitar amplifiers in a live environment. They are terrific! They handle whatever two 100 watt amps can throw at them and do not color the sound in any sort of negative manner. They definitely let the amps tone shine right through.

This is a good little mike. I like the sound more than what the Shure 57 provides for electric guitar. It seems to have a flatter and more accurate tone curve, but less bottom than the 57. Placement is important.
