Sennheiser Professional e 609 Silver Super-Cardioid Instrument Microphone,Wired, Wireless

Great mic for guitars. Small , easy to use. Rugged. Sennheiser quality all the way.

I know the reputation and the sound of an SM57, a good general purpose instrument mic. The e609 seems to have a better response curve suited for close guitar-cab micing. With a 57, I EQ at FOH to calm the bite; with a 609, I can usually just leave it flat - the things sound great.

My favorite mic for electric guitar. Given a choice I will go for the E609 vs. the SM57 especially if the guitar is equipped w/ humbuckers. Positioning is critical and even though a lot of people hang these over the amp I tend to go w/ a stand so I can get it right where I want it. Its also a secret weapon for the 8x10 SVT bass cabinet due to the more extended low end as compared the SM57. Put it on the top 10 furthest from the drums.

perfect!!

It is not the best instrument microphone I’ve ever had but I like the way it hangs down. I still like the shure sm57 better for my go too. So I use 2 microphones.

This thing is just a DREAM for micing guitar amps, especially problematic cabs. My main amp (Peavey Delta Blues) uses a 15 speaker. Trying to mic it with an SM-57 or similar is always a compromise of what kind of coloration Im willing to accept. Hours of recording time and fiddling with placement did eventually allow me to discover a sweet spot. But even then, trying to place such a tiny capsule on a speaker larger than 10 never gets me close to the natural sound of the amp. Something is always hyped or missing. Its always a hunt for the least bad placement. If youre reading this, youre probably familiar with what Im describing.

Perfect mic for guitar amps. No stand needed, just hang over the top. Way better than hanging a 57 sideways over your speaker.

J’ai acheté ca pour miker mon ampli de guitare lorsque je joue live. J’ai été énormément étonné de voir à quel point la ressemblance avec mon son d’origine était là.

Great mic! Hard to beat Sennheiser

Does the job well. I am glad i purchased two.
