E904 - Microphone SENNHEISER - Free user manual and instructions

USER MANUAL E904 SENNHEISER

ENGLISH High-quality dynamic microphone with cardioid pick-up pattern. Due to its compact design, the microphone is ideal for use with drums (toms and snares). It can easily be positioned in cramped space conditions (e.g. below the cymbals) and the supplied MZH 604 microphone clamp allows to precisely attach it to the rim of the instrument. The 904 is also suitable for miking guitar amplifiers, percussions as well as brass and woodwind instruments. A rugged full metal body effectively protects the microphone from impact damage. The XLR connector turned by 45° allows the space saving positioning of the microphone in the case of angled connectors. Features y Extremely vivid, powerful sound with drums and percussions y Sound can be shaped as needed to fit all styles of music y Extremely rugged for rough stage use y Hum compensating coil protects against electromagnetic interference y Gold-plated XLR connector (turned by 45°)

6,3 mm Positioning the microphone Drums Position Resulting sound Commentary More fundamental tone, little overtones Position on the drum: 3–5 cm above the batter head, the fundamental tone to overtones ratio can be adjusted via the angle. The most balanced results are obtained at an angle of 30–60°. Less fundamental tone, many overtones Use of a second 904 for picking up the resonant head and the snares. If necessary, activate phase reversing for one of the microphones. In order to prevent interference due to crosstalk between adjacent sound sources, try to position the microphone so that the interfering sound source is located in the angle area of the highest cancellation of the microphone (approx. 180°).
