From Our Research Team:

Tonal Character For Guitar Amps!

Building on the performance and popularity of the Evolution 609 and legendary MD 409 dynamic microphones, Sennheiser has re-engineered the e609's capsule for a punchier sound with more clarity to better capture the raw energy of guitar amps and loud brass instruments. Musicians and engineers flocked to the e609 due to its distinctive side-address design, supercardioid pickup pattern and famous low-mid growl. The tonal character has been tailored to more closely match that of the original MD 409 and cosmetically the new mic will be identified by the silver front grille, which will also help to orient the microphone correctly, even in dim stage lighting. The frequency response of the e609 Silver is 40Hz to 18kHz; sensitivity is 1.5mV/Pa; and nominal impedance is 350 Ohms.

The physical construction and side-address configuration of the e609 is identical to its predecessors in that placement remains exactly the same. Simply hang it in front of the amp's speaker and it will faithfully pickup any sound the amp can dish out.

Sennheiser e609 Silver Dynamic Mic Features at a Glance:
  • Supercardioid Dymanic Mic
  • Frequency response: 40Hz-18,000kHz
  • Hum compensating coil reduces electrical interference
  • Neodynum ferrous magnet with boron keeps mic stable regardless of climate
  • Metal construction-rugged and reliable
  • Super-cardioid pick-up pattern provides isolation from other on-stage signals

I give it 5 Stars because it does exactly what is supposed to and is VERY convenient (No extra mic stand). I can not tell the difference between this mic and the standard SM57. So...Great Mic!

Perfect live mic!

This mic cannot be any easier. Put in in front of your amp, listen, adjust and ignore. I cannot speak to studio usages. My amp sounds like "my amp mic'd" going through the mains! No noticeable col... read more [+]oration. And aweomely, no stand in front of my amp to deal with anymore!

Like all mics the proper placement and EQ'ing is important. I find the amp's sweet-spot usually on the first go and at the board it's a breeze. Start flat, find the proper mic point, and carve out anywhere that's not exactly perfect!

I found problems at first when I didn't realize that if the amp is tilted the mic can move or if the cable has too much memory it can twist. Easy solves! (duct tape) close [-]

It took all but 10 minuets of tinkering to get this mic to sound good. I have read reviews that claim it to be "boomy", or "mid-rangy". I have found that a tiny boost in the high shelf (+2 or 3 db), w... read more [+]ill bring out the best in this mic. The low end and mid-range can go untouched. Or you can use subtractive EQ to acquire the same effect. It sounds very full, clear and transparent. I cant wait to try it out on some percussion instruments. I am very happy with this mic. I will likely buy one more. close [-]
