If you've been wondering what's the "right" microphone for guitar cabs, then congratulations, you've found it. Based on the mythic Sennheiser 409, the e906 gives your amp that super-present, in-your-face sound responsible for more that a fair share of the greatest guitar recordings ever. How do they do it? These mics are specially designed to sit right up against the grille of your amp, taking the full on abuse of extremely high SPLs. In fact, one of the coolest things about the e906 (like the 409) is that its actually designed to hang right in front of your amp. There's no need to bother with a stand at all — just toss an e906 over the front, crank it up, and tear loose. But if there wasn't any more to the e906, Sennheiser wouldn't have bothered making it. No, the e906 has some pretty sweet tricks all of its own. Take, for example, the e906's switchable filter. In one position, it boosts the presence, which is perfect for metal and spanky rhythms. Toss it on a Marshall in this position, and your tone will burst into flames! The normal position is great perfect for everything from dirty drive to the crunch tones of classic rock, while the third position scoops the high mids, leaving only the cream behind — just what you need for jazz and blues. Also, because of its more broadly tailored frequency range (40Hz-18kHz), lots of engineers use the e906 for toms, horns, and other instruments.
