Sennheiser e 904 Cardioid Dynamic Instrument Microphone

The e904 from Sennheiser is a cardioid dynamic instrument microphone particularly adapted to a wide range of percussive styles—reproducing low-frequency instruments with incredible richness and detail. A heavy-hitting member of Sennheiser’s Evolution microphone series, the e904 is designed with professional musicians in mind. It’s an excellent choice for capturing snare drums, toms, congas, other percussion instruments, and more live on stage.

The e904 features a dynamic element with a cardioid polar pattern that reduces off-axis signal and residual noise. The dynamic element provides high headroom and low distortion when capturing signals at excessive sound pressure levels. This microphone is engineered to efficiently respond to very fast attacks with extreme accuracy—without distortion.

Ruggedly built, the e904’s design makes it easy to position even in crowded venues. This design features a short body with an integrated stand mount and universal rim clip for attaching to the rims of toms or snares.
