Sennheiser E 604 Dynamic Cardioid Instrument Microphone with Pivot Mount

Precision Miking for Drums and Brass

The Sennheiser E 604 is a compact dynamic cardioid instrument microphone designed for close-miking drums, brass, and woodwind instruments. Its slim, clip-on form factor and integrated pivot mount make it the go-to choice for engineers who need fast, reliable placement without stands getting in the way — on stage or in the studio.

Key Features

• Dynamic cardioid capsule — tight pickup pattern isolates the source and rejects bleed from adjacent instruments
• Frequency response: 40 Hz – 18 kHz — balanced response with a presence boost for cutting through dense mixes
• High SPL handling — handles up to 160 dB SPL, ideal for snare, toms, and brass
• Integrated pivot mount — clips directly onto drum rims and instrument bells; no stand required
• Compact, lightweight body — stays out of the way of drummers and performers
• No phantom power required — passive dynamic design, ready to go straight out of the bag
• Rugged metal housing — built for the rigours of touring and repeated live use

Ideal For

• Snare drum (top and bottom)
• Rack and floor toms
• Brass instruments (trumpet, trombone, French horn)
• Woodwinds and acoustic instruments
• Live sound and studio drum recording

Clip it on, dial in your gain, and let the E 604 do the rest. Whether you're tracking a full drum kit or miking a brass section, this mic delivers consistent, professional results every time.
