Sennheiser e 901 Kick Drum Condenser Microphone Overview
Sennheiser e 901 Kick Drum Condenser Microphone
The Sennheiser e 901 is a condenser microphone made for kick drums, capable of effectively handling high sound pressure levels. It is a half cardioid microphone for a precise fast and realistic sound, designed to sit inside the bass drum. This microphone can also be used for pianos, percussion instruments, conference calls, podiums, stages and more.
A balanced kick sound to set and forget. The e 901 is a rugged boundary microphone that handles high sound pressure levels extraordinarily well. Tailored to give the kick drum a highly precise, very dry sound character, the e 901 makes every attack lightning fast and realistic. The positioning of the e 901 in a bass drum couldn't be simpler: just put it in - done. The integrated preamp and gold-plated XLR connector have proven themselves to be exceptionally practical on stage.
