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.
What's new about the e609 Silver? 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.

“Though I've herd pepole say good and bad things about the e609 from sennheiser using it is the real test. It when used close on a cabnit brings great clarity for live sound. And I've used it on kick drums and cajons as well as other percusion, though it would not be my first choice it preformed great with proper setup and a little tunning. This is a great large diaphram mic.”

"This is my go-to microphone for guitar amps. Live or in the studio, the e 609 is THE mic for guitar cabinets. You not only get a great sound every time, but the low-profile design makes it easy to place the mic right in the sweet spot. For great guitar tones, look no further than the e 609."

"This is such a great mic for mic'ing guitar cabinets. No cabling connectors stick out to get bumped and the sound is very focused without getting pointy or woofy. The price point makes this sonic-upgrade a hard mic to pass up when comparing it to the long time standard."
