Sennheiser E 906 Dynamic Super Cardioid Instrument Microphone

Three Voices. One Mic. Endless Tone.

The Sennheiser E 906 is a dynamic super cardioid instrument microphone that has earned its place as one of the most versatile guitar cab mics in professional audio. Like the E 609, its flat hatchet body hangs directly over the front of a cabinet without a stand — but the E 906 goes further with a three-position presence switch that lets you shape the mic's character on the fly. Bright, neutral, or warm: dial in the tone that suits the amp, the room, and the song.

Key Features

• Dynamic super cardioid capsule — tight pickup pattern with excellent off-axis rejection for noisy stage environments
• Frequency response: 40 Hz – 18 kHz — voiced for guitar and instrument sources with a controlled presence region
• Three-position presence switch — selectable bright, neutral, or warm EQ voicing directly on the mic body
• High SPL handling — handles up to 160 dB SPL, no distortion at full stack volumes
• Flat body design — hangs flush against the cab grille; no stand required
• No phantom power required — passive dynamic design, plug in and go
• Rugged all-metal housing — road-tested construction for demanding live and studio use

Ideal For

• Electric guitar amplifier cabinets (live and studio)
• Bass cabinets
• Keyboard amplifiers
• Snare drum and percussion
• Any high-SPL instrument source requiring tonal flexibility

Hang it over the grille, flip the presence switch to taste, and let the E 906 capture your amp exactly the way you hear it. This is the mic that gives engineers options without adding complexity.
