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

AMAZING MIC! Seriously. Through away your SM57s and start micing your guitar cabs with this. A sound guy friend recommended this mic to me, and so glad we got some. With a 57 theres always this harsh tone Im trying to EQ and compress out. With these, it sounds so smooth. You can crank your guitars and not feel like your ears are bleeding! Highly recommend!

I use the E609 primarily to mic 50W Marshall head with JCM900 4x12 cab in combination with a Shure SM57. I find it to be brighter and more transparent than the darker sound captured by the Shure. If I could only use one, Id go with the Sennheiser E609 over the Shure SM57 because the tone sounds more natural anywhere on the speaker, requires less EQ tweaking and needs no stand. That said, the two mics work very well together. This mic is an excellent value. I wish I had purchased one years ago!

This is a very well made Mic!!

works ok but not as good as other mics I have.... I expected better sound

Bonne qualité pour le prix.

This microphones edge over an SM57 is that you can hang it from the top of your cabinet.

I picked one of these up at a local music store yesterday. I’ve just joined a group that goes all “direct in” to the P.A., but since I’m an old school tube amp guy, I needed a mic. After reading various reviews, I decided to go with the E609. It seems to convey my sound/tone very well.

pretty cool

I was having difficulty getting a clear crisp sound out of my SM57s, so I ordered two of these guys and boom! Pairing this mic with two 57s sounds better than the room sound by far. Clean, less noise, and extremely present. Youll love these mics, especially for the money.

The mic arrived ahead of schedule and it works very well. I’m very happy with it.
