SPECIFICATIONS

The instrument microphone shall be a dyna-
mic cardioid designed for use with drums and 
percussion as well as brass and woodwind 
instruments.
It shall have a compact design and a rugged 
reinforced glass fiber body and shall feature 
an integral stand mount. The microphone 
shall be fitted with a hum compensating  
coil. The frequency response shall be 40 Hz –  
18,000 Hz and the sensitivity (free field, no 
load) shall be 1.8 mV/Pa at 1 kHz. Nominal 
impedance shall be 350 

O

, with a min.  

terminating impedance of 1 k

O

The microphone shall provide a 3-pin XLR 
connector. Dimensions shall be 33 x 59 mm 
(1.3“ x 2.32“). Weight without cable shall 
be 60 grams (2.12 oz). The microphone 
shall be the Sennheiser e 604.

The frequency response and cardioid pick-up pattern are optimized for drum sets 
and other percussion instrument miking, while also producing exceptional results 
on all forms of brass and woodwind. An integral stand mount screws directly 
onto mic stands and included clip attaches mic to rims of drums. Very high sound 
pressure level handling, in excess of 
160 dB, is combined with a balanced, 
clear, low distortion signal. Light-
weight voice coil provides extended 
high frequency and rapid transient 
response. A tough reinforced glass 
fiber body takes the knocks and 
shocks.
