Sennheiser E-904 - Dynamic Cardioid Drum Mic

The Sennheiser E904 is a cardioid instrument microphone primarily designed to reproduce drums and percussion instruments with incredible richness and detail. The E904 features a dynamic element with a cardioid polar pattern that reduces off-axis signal and residual noise. The E904 provides high headroom and low distortion when capturing signals at excessive sound pressure levels. The element responds to very fast attacks with extreme accuracy, without distortion. The E904 is an excellent choice for capturing snare drums, toms, congas, and more.


Optimized for Percussion
The E904's frequency and sensitivity response is optimized for accurate reproduction of snare drums, toms, congas and more.

Fast Transient Response
The E904 is capable of withstanding high sound pressure levels and fast attacks are reproduced accurately without distortion.

Cardioid Polar Pattern
The cardioid polar pattern is effective in minimizing off-axis audio and residual noise that may cause feedback.

Hum Compensation
The built-in hum compensation coil suppresses hum and low frequency noise.

Rugged Construction
The rugged, durable construction is capable of handling life on the road or in studio.
