General
The Sennheiser E 608 is a very compact dynamic instrument microphone that is perfect for amplifying brass and woodwind instruments. You can attach the microphone directly to the instrument by means of the accessory multifunctional clip. With the flexible gooseneck you can then place the capsule in the optimal position for the best, crystal clear registration. The capsule has been placed in an internal shock mount, so handling noise won't bother you. The Sennheiser E 608 is also perfectly suited for recording drums and percussion instruments.
E608: the sound
The Sennheiser E 608 has a super cardioid pick-up pattern. You can position it easily and it doesn't produce a lot of ambient noise. The microphone has a frequency range of 40 Hz to 16 kHz with a peak in the high-mid and high frequency area. This results in a powerful, open and bright sound. The microphone weighs only 20 grams, excluding the cable. You'll hardly notice it during playing.
