SENNHEISER E 609 instrumentmicrofoon

The Sennheiser E 609 is a rugged, dynamic instrument microphone designed for high-SPL applications on stage and in the studio. Its flat-front profile allows for unobtrusive placement directly in front of guitar amplifiers, drums, and brass instruments, delivering a clear, punchy sound with excellent feedback rejection.

Advantages

Supercardioid polar pattern ensures focused pickup and minimizes bleed from other sources. The flat grille design enables tight positioning against amp grilles or inside drum kits. A hum compensating coil eliminates interference from electromagnetic fields, ensuring clean audio even in challenging environments.
