Sennheiser e604 Drum and Brass Instrument Microphone Overview

The Sennheiser e604 is a compact dynamic cardioid microphone designed specifically for miking drums, snares, percussion, as well as brass and woodwind instruments. Its quick and easy clip-on feature allows for flexible positioning on any instrument, making it a versatile tool for live performances and studio recordings. The microphone's frequency response and cardioid pick-up pattern are finely tuned for capturing the essence of percussive and brass instruments, delivering exceptional audio quality that rivals high-end studio condenser microphones.

With its capability to handle very high sound pressure levels (in excess of 160 dB) without distortion, and a reinforced glass fibre body that withstands impacts and suppresses handling noise, the e604 offers both resilience and superior sound fidelity. Additionally, its lightweight voice coil ensures extended high frequencies and rapid transient response, making it an ideal choice for capturing dynamic performances.

Engineered for precision and durability

The Sennheiser e604 stands out for its ability to deliver clear, balanced, and low distortion sound even when subjected to extremely high sound pressure levels. This makes it an excellent choice for recording loud and dynamic instruments such as toms, snares, and brass, ensuring that every nuance of the performance is captured with clarity. Its rugged reinforced glass-fibre body is built to endure the rigours of touring and live performances, effectively suppressing impact noise and ensuring the microphone's longevity.

Exceptional performance on stage and in studio

Thanks to its compact design, the e604 can be easily positioned on different instruments, offering great flexibility in both live and studio settings. Whether it's clipped onto the rim of a drum or mounted on a stand for brass and woodwind instruments, this microphone remains discreet while providing optimal pick-up. The hum compensating coil further enhances the sound quality by reducing electrical interference, resulting in a cleaner, more focused audio capture.

Superior handling and sound quality

The e604's design minimizes sensitivity to impact and handling noise, making it a reliable choice for high-energy performances. Its very high sound pressure handling capability ensures that loud instruments are recorded without distortion, offering a true-to-life sound experience. With its integral stand mount, setting up the e604 is straightforward and efficient, allowing musicians and sound engineers to focus on the performance rather than the equipment.
