Review: Excellent microphone - I use this mic for guitar cabinet's in live recording sessions. To me and many engineers I've worked with, it sounds slightly better than a SM57. I bit more body and fullness. A very well made mic that sounds great and is worth every penny. Review: Great mic in the mix - I used an SM 57 for years, but picked one of these up on the recommendation of a friend that runs sound. In a live setting, I was not expecting much but my stage mix is much clearer and I always get compliments from folks on my tone in the house mix. You can’t get a better recommendation than that! ## Features - Dynamic Supercardioid Guitar Amplifier Microphone ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0002GYSNC | | Antenna Location | Instrument miking, particularly guitar amps and drums | | Audible Noise | 150 db | | Audio Sensitivity | 150 db | | Best Sellers Rank | #2,994 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #7 in Instrument Dynamic Microphones | | Brand | Sennheiser | | Built-In Media | MZQ 100|Pouch | | Color | grey/silver | | Compatible Devices | Speaker | | Connectivity Technology | Wired, Wireless | | Connector Type | XLR | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 883 Reviews | | Enclosure Material | Alloy Steel, Metal | | Frequency Range | 40 - 18 khz | | Frequency Response | 18000 hertz | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00615104100220, 04044155000238 | | Impedance | 1000 ohm | | Item Dimensions | 2.2 x 5.7 x 1.3 inches | | Item Type Name | Dynamic Microphone | | Item Weight | 120 g | | Manufacturer | Sennheiser | | Mfr Part Number | E 609 | | Microphone Form Factor | Microphone Only | | Model Name | E609 | | Model Number | 500074 | | Number of Batteries | 1 Lithium Ion batteries required. | | Number of Channels | 1 | | Polar Pattern | Super Cardioid | | Power Source | Corded Electric | | Recommended Uses For Product | Instrument miking, particularly guitar amps and drums | | Signal-to-Noise Ratio | 110 db | | Special Feature | nv: Pick Up Pattern^Supercardioid | Frequency Response^40 - 18,000 Hz | Sensitivity^1.5 mVPa at 1 kHz, nominal | Nominal Impedance^350 Ohms | Min Terminating Impedance^1 k | Contact Pressure^2.5 N | Weight^6.43oz | Special Feature nv: Pick Up Pattern^Supercardioid | Frequency Response^40 - 18,000 Hz | Sensitivity^1.5 mVPa at 1 kHz, nominal | Nominal Impedance^350 Ohms | Min Terminating Impedance^1 k | Contact Pressure^2.5 N | Weight^6.43oz | See more | | UPC | 615104100220 617762177637 615104098954 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Description | 10 years parts & labor. | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Sennheiser - **Color:** grey/silver - **Compatible Devices:** Speaker - **Connectivity Technology:** Wired, Wireless - **Connector Type:** XLR - **Included Components:** MZQ 100|Pouch - **Model Name:** E609 - **Polar Pattern:** Super Cardioid - **Recommended Uses For Product:** Instrument miking, particularly guitar amps and drums ## Images ![Sennheiser Professional e 609 Silver Super-Cardioid Instrument Microphone - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71oeAigid5L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Set** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Are they good for glockenspiels?** A: Yes it is a good all round mic for instruments. **Q: Does this mic pick up low end?** A: For me, the several times I've used it on stage as mic for guitar amp (6 string acoustic and electric), it seems to pick up both low and high frequencies just fine. **Q: I want to mic an acoustic piano. Is it good for that?** A: I believe this mic is geared more to the direct signal of an electric guitar amp speaker. It could be used for piano, but you may want to check into other Neumann or AKG models, and consider two mics also. **Q: Plan on recording with a band soon in a less than ideal space, will this be better at preventing bleeding sound from the drums than a 57?** A: Yes, it picks up less sound from the sides than a 57 because its super cardioid pattern and the design of the mic head you can get it really close up on the speaker, so you should get less bleed from other sounds in the room. It does pick up a little sound from directly behind it (since that's how super cardioid works) but as long as the drums are directly behind it, it should be good. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent microphone *by G***J on March 7, 2026* I use this mic for guitar cabinet's in live recording sessions.
