Questions frequently asked
Is the Sennheiser E604 suitable for snare drum and toms?
The dynamic cardioid capsule is designed for close-miking drums. Its frequency response from 40 Hz to 18 kHz emphasizes the snare attack and the depth of the toms.
How to attach the microphone to a tom?
Its dedicated clip attaches directly to the drum rim without requiring a microphone stand.
Does the microphone limit cymbal and monitor spill?
The cardioid pattern reduces side and rear pickup. The reduced rear lobe helps limit cymbal bleed and overhead noise. This configuration favors a more isolated signal in a live stage environment.
What are the dimensions and weight of the E604?
Its size measures 33 x 59 mm with a weight of 60 g. The reinforced fiberglass construction is designed to withstand the rigors of intense live use.
Can it be used to mic brass or woodwind instruments?
With a sensitivity of 1.8 mV/Pa at 1 kHz, this instrument microphone is suitable for brass and woodwind bells. Its nominal impedance is 350 ohms, with a minimum load of 1 kΩ.
