The e604 from Sennheiser is a high-SPL handling (more than 160dB) cardioid microphone, optimized for use on drum sets and other percussion miking applications. The e604 microphone comes with an integrated, pivoting mount that can screw directly onto mic stands or attach to the rim of a drum, making setup very efficient. A balanced, clear, low-distortion signal from the e604 is similar to a high-end studio condenser microphone. A lightweight voice coil provides extended high frequency and rapid transient response. This drum mic is housed in a tough, reinforced glass fiber body designed to suppress impact noise.
