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

It’s another classic but Sennheiser. It’s a solid guitar mic for the price. Sounds great and it is easy to use.

These were recommended to me by a sound professional who uses them almost exclusively for micing guitar amps and bass amps at live gigs. His comment about them is that they are as good for the job as a Shure SM58, but a lot easier to place. He just drops them over the front of amps and secures the cable with a little duct tape to the amp.

Perfect for gtr amps

It does exactly what is needed. This design is simple and effective.

Great mic! Hard to beat Sennheiser

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.

Awesome mic for a guitar amp/cab. I use it to keep our electric guitarist amp down low then mic him so our stage volume can be much lower and he can still get all the volume he needs through the mixing desk and his aux send to his IEM.

After taking some time to investigate and choose a mic to record instruments, I am very pleased to have choosed this mic. My recordings sound great, very easy to use and set up. Very happy with my purchase.

A reasonable price for decent amp mic. several of us in the band use the same one and have never had a problem. The look good too.

Best guitar amp mic!
