A mic for all seasons
Natural sound reproduction and incredible versatility: the MK 4
Easy to handle and excellent value for money, Sennheiser’s MK 4 mic is ideal for voices and acoustic instruments like guitars. It is just as at home in professional project studios, on stage or as a tool for home recordists. This large-diaphragm true condenser microphone delivers fine resolution and outstanding sound quality with a powerful warm sound.
- Incredibly versatile mic for vocals and instruments
- True condenser, large-diaphragm design with a 24-carat gold-plated membrane
- For both stage and studio: full metal housing, internally shock-mounted capsule, low inherent self-noise and high maximum SPL
Maximum flexibility for vocals: the e 835 and e 845
Sennheiser’s best-selling e 835 and e 845 are dynamic cardioid and super-cardioid microphones that are perfectly suited to vocals. They project well and cut through high volumes on stage but are also great for home recording and semi-pro studios. Making vocals come alive, these are popular mics for crystal clear and natural sound without feedback, spill or handling noise. Their extremely durable metal construction means they’re able to take on the knocks of a life of performing. Close siblings, these mics share much in common but the super-cardioid pick-up pattern of the e 845 is better at rejecting noise from the side. Considering their amazing quality, these mics are excellent value for money.
- Dynamic cardioid (e 835) and super-cardioid (e 845) microphones for speech and vocals with optional silent on/off switch (S versions)
- Clear reproduction and enhanced presence, cutting through high on-stage levels
- Consistent sound quality at varying distances and when moving off axis
- High sound pressure level, good feedback rejection
- Rugged metal housing and hum compensating coil
Extend every voice, capture every detail: the e 935 and e 945
This pair of vocal mics provide a step up in quality and extreme durability that can capture vocals with impressive intensity – even on louder stages. Like the e 835 and e 845 siblings, Sennheiser offers two related mics – the cardioid e 935 and the super-cardioid e 945 with a narrower pick-up pattern – which are both great for giving vocals more space with loud instruments, with their versatile and balanced frequency response suited to every genre of music. With a transparent high-end and warm but well-defined lower mids, even gentle voices have an impressive intensity and size, and vocal tracks in the band mix can be emphasized more easily. Both mics are extremely resistant to feedback as well as to the hard conditions of live gigs.
- Dynamic cardioid (e 935) and super-cardioid (e 945) vocal microphones that clearly emphasize voices on loud stages
- High-end sound signature with transparent high-end and warm, defined lower mids
- Highly consistent directivity and high feedback rejection
- Extremely rugged metal housing, shock-mounted capsule and hum compensating coil
Amazing mics for guitars
The versatile guitar mic: e 609
If you’re looking to buy your mother a great everyday guitar mic, Sennheiser’s e 609 Silver is a good choice that’s suited for live performance and studio alike. This instrument mic is a rugged workhorse that has been specially developed for miking guitar cabs face on and extremely close to the signal source.
- Dynamic guitar/bass cab microphone with super-cardioid pick-up pattern
- Advanced shock-mount design and hum compensating coil
- Rugged metal body
Guitar sound the way it should be: e 906
Is she after a truly impressive pro instrument mic? Sennheiser’s e 906 captures the guitar sound just as desired: from clean to distorted, from gentle to aggressive. It provides natural, high-resolution sound without unwanted coloration. The transient response of the e 906 is great for every style of playing and genre: it even transmits riffs with an extremely hard punch, directly and honestly.
- Dynamic super-cardioid guitar cab microphone with full-bodied, lively sound
- Extremely fast transient response
- Switchable presence filter with three choices of sound characteristic: boosted presence range, normal, attenuated presence range
- Shock-mounted capsule and hum compensating coil
- Rugged metal housing
