Description
The Sennheiser e906 is a professional dynamic microphone crafted for close-miking high-SPL instruments, with a focus on guitar amplifiers. Its flat-faced design lets it rest directly against an amp grille—no stand required—making it ideal for fast setups in both live and studio environments.
Featuring a supercardioid pickup pattern, rapid transient response, and switchable tone settings, the e906 delivers a full-bodied, articulate sound for a wide range of instruments. Available for hire in Melbourne, Sydney, and Brisbane, it’s a dependable performer for musicians, engineers, and AV professionals alike.
Tailored for Electric Guitar Amplifiers
The e906 was designed with guitar amps in mind. Its flat shape allows for quick, accurate placement directly over speaker cones—without the need for a traditional stand or clip-on mount. This placement style simplifies setup and ensures optimal capture of the amp’s tonal character.
Delivers clear, defined tone with minimal stage bleed
Handles high volumes without distortion
Ideal for both clean and distorted amp profiles
Versatile for Multiple Instruments
Though it excels on guitar cabinets, the e906 also adapts easily to other instruments. Its punchy tone, durable build, and tight pickup pattern make it a great option for:
Snare drums and rack/floor toms
Brass instruments such as trumpet or trombone
Percussion rigs and auxiliary drums
Speaker cabinets in live or studio settings
Adjustable Sound Shaping
The Sennheiser e906 includes a three-position switch that allows users to tailor the sound directly at the mic. Choose between:
Bright – Enhanced presence and sparkle
Normal – Balanced tone for general use
Smooth – Subtle high-frequency roll-off for a warmer tone
This feature enables quick tonal adjustments to suit different instruments, players, or mixing preferences.
Built for the Demands of the Stage
The e906 is housed in a rugged metal body designed for durability and reliability in live performance settings. Internally, a shock-mounted capsule helps reduce handling noise, and a hum-compensating coil prevents interference from stage lighting or nearby electronics.
Road-ready design
Compact and easy to position
Withstands the rigours of touring and stage use
