Description
Get a highly precise, dry kick drum sound with this rugged boundary microphone, perfect for live stages and studio recordings.
Product Description
The Sennheiser e901 is a specialised condenser microphone designed to revolutionise the way you capture kick drums. Its unique, flat boundary-style design allows you to simply place it inside the drum—no stand required. This feature not only speeds up setup time but also eliminates stage clutter and allows you to capture a clean, uncoloured sound that is precisely tailored to the low end.
The e901 delivers an incredibly fast and realistic attack, capturing the beater’s “slap” with perfect detail while still providing a full-bodied, low-frequency response. It can handle extremely high sound pressure levels (SPLs) without distortion, making it suitable for even the hardest-hitting drummers. While it is optimised for kick drums, its versatility extends to miking pianos, percussion, and even conference tables for clear speech.
For a complete drum sound, consider pairing the e901 with other microphones from our selection, such as the sE V7 X instrument microphone on the snare. For seamless integration into your live setup, our range of professional mixing desks is also available for hire.
Key Features & Benefits:
- Optimised for Kick Drum: Delivers a highly precise, very dry sound character with a fast, realistic attack.
- No Mic Stand Needed: Its flat design allows it to be placed directly inside the drum on a pillow or towel, simplifying setup and reducing stage clutter.
- Handles High SPLs: The e901 can handle extremely high sound pressure levels (154 dB) without distortion.
- Integrated Preamp: The built-in preamp and standard XLR plug mean no special adapter cables are needed.
- Half-Cardioid Polar Pattern: Provides a highly directional pickup, effectively rejecting unwanted rear and surface noise.
