Sennheiser e 614 - Supercardioid Condenser Mic For Drum Overheads

The Sennheiser e614 evolution Series Polarized Supercardioid Condenser Overhead Drum Microphone is designed for demanding instrument recordings and performances that require extended frequency response, high SPL handling, fast transient response and compact size. While drumset overhead miking was the first design priority, the e614 also works exceptionally well on percussion setups, fitting comfortably into tight setups. The e614 can handle high SPLs and features medium sensitivity, which ensures reduced bleed from other instruments on stage. Because of its excellent acoustic properties, this mic is also ideal for home recording.
