Sennheiser e 609 Silver Dynamic Microphone

The Sennheiser e 609 Silver Microphone is the best guitar amp microphone you can get. The e609, like the traditional MD 409, like to be right up on the grille of your guitar cabinet, to the point that you can simply drape it over your amp and let it hang there in the perfect location – no stand required! A natural 40Hz low-frequency cutoff eliminates excessive boominess, and the e609 is practically hard to overload, so turn it up. It also has a clean sound, thanks to a strong neodymium magnet and hum-compensating coil.

Up close and personal

The e609 has a clear character of its own. Lows are tight and punchy without booming, the mids are rich, and the highs are present without sounding harsh. Engineers here and beyond agree that the best sound you’ll get out of this mic is when you simply drape it over your amp and let them meet grille to grille. Combined with its tight supercardioid polar pattern, this close mic position makes the e609 virtually impervious to off-axis sound. No feedback or mic bleed here!
