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

works and sounds great. but the 906 is the better mic. save up and get that one.

What ab awesome mic, love it when combine it with sm57 for guitar recording, amazing

Good quality. It works perfectly for recording odd skin instruments. Totally recommend.

Hang it over the amp record, done.

Using a Fender Blues Jr amp, I compared the tonal response between the e609 and a Shure SM57. The e609 has slightly higher mid range response and a better humbucking quality to it, but the SM57 captures a large range of frequencies, particularly for cleaner guitar sounds, i.e., makes the sound a little fuller.. The ease with which to use the e609 with an amp (just hang it over the top; I use velcro to keep it in place) is a plus, however. The biggest con I found is that I am not getting very much signal through it when recording through a presonus DAW, requiring me to crank the amp to volumes that are pretty loud. The SM57 wins in that aspect, but not by much.

Best guitar amp mic!

GREAT MIC FOR ALMOST ANY KIND OF INSTRUMENT!

I love these. I have 6 of them. Not only great for guitar amps, I also use these to mic saxes and trumpets. Also great to reproduce jazz drummers boingy toms without wanting to stab yourself in the ear.

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

Sennheiser makes great products. This works great for my limited space, no need to have a mic stand.
