Description
The Sennheiser e902 is a dynamic cardioid instrument microphone engineered for one purpose: capturing the cleanest, clearest bass frequencies from high-SPL instruments. Whether it’s a kick drum thundering through a rock mix, the resonance of a tuba, or the growl of a bass amp, the e902 is built to deliver precision low-end reproduction.
Available for hire in Melbourne, Sydney, and Brisbane, this microphone is a go-to for stage, studio, and broadcast professionals looking for robust low-frequency performance in a reliable format.
Built for the Bottom End
Designed specifically for bass-rich sources, the e902 features a frequency response of 20 Hz to 16 kHz, with an emphasis on delivering articulate low-end energy while preserving definition and punch. Its tailored response ensures you hear every nuance—whether it’s the transient attack of a kick pedal or the sustained tone of a low B on a bass guitar.
Ideal for:
Kick drums
Bass guitar cabinets
Floor toms and large drums
Tuba and sousaphone
Other low-frequency acoustic or amplified sources
Rugged, Road-Ready Design
The e902 is housed in a robust metal body designed to handle the demands of touring, live staging, and repeated rigging. Its internal shock-mounted capsule minimizes handling and stage vibration noise, while a hum compensating coil reduces interference from other nearby electronics.
This microphone was made to sit right in front of loud, powerful instruments and do its job flawlessly—night after night.
Focused Pickup with Cardioid Control
Featuring a cardioid polar pattern, the e902 isolates the intended source while rejecting off-axis sounds. This helps reduce bleed from nearby cymbals, amps, or other drums in a live setup and gives sound engineers more control during mixing.
Its tight pickup pattern also reduces the chance of feedback in high-volume environments, making it a reliable choice for live sound reinforcement.
