Typical, after years of prevaricating, I just picked up 4 x e604 from ebay for barely less than this - and I could have had the e904s new.....

I did the same. Regardless, you could grab them and eventually sell them for at least what you paid or more.

I just noticed that 3 x e904's run less than the 3 pack of e604's (not counting the case) and $40 less on a one-to-one basis. Sennheiser must have something new in the works. That said, I am tempted.
Has anyone used the e904's on anything other than drums? Curious as to how they might handle guitar cabs, etc..

And it may well just be a promo to create volume and interest.

Not used e904s on guitar cabs, but have used e604s - they work a treat, and I'd expect the e904s to be every bit as good. Having said that, though, the form factor of the e906 makes it better still for cabs on tight stages - no more than 3cm in front of the cab, where even the compact e904 will take more space.

Post by: Chris Grimshaw on March 03, 2018, 05:01:08 PM
I've ordered one to try, and am hoping to replace a fair chunk of my mic locker with them - nice smooth response, with a slight upward tilt, should sound good on most things straight out of the box. I'll do some testing to verify that, and then I'll throw the test mic at as many instruments as I can lay hand to. The compact form factor and smooth response are both great selling points for me. If it'll work well on violin, sax, flute, snare, kick, acoustic guitar, cabs, etc etc, I'll be very happy indeed.
Will report back when it arrives.

One of the applications I found for the E504-series drum mics was in the orchestra, micing celli. I used Mic-Eze (butterfly) clips on the upright tube of the music stand and the conductor and orchestra manager liked the section very much. We used MD421 on the basses, 1 per instrument and found them to work nicely with the E504.
I've also used them on horns (trombone & trumpet) and guitar amps. Hadn't tried them on strings like the uke you had but will have to experiment some more. Thanks for the report.

Hey Tim, thanks for the datapoint.
I ran a quick measurement of the e904 that arrived, and found its response was exceptionally smooth, with a slight upwards tilt. Compared to an SM86, the e904 had a smoother response, but the SM86 was closer to horizontal. The e904 was much smoother than a Beta-57a, and an EV N/D478.
The e904 also has the advantage of being extremely small, so getting it in close to an instrument is quite easy.
I've got a gig with a band next weekend, so I might throw the e904 at something unusual and record the result. Not necessarily use it for the live sound, but just to see what it picks up. Options are any part of a standard drum kit, couple of guitar amps, bass amp... What do we wanna hear?

I found the e-x04 drum mics to be relatively hype-free, too. I think that's why we both find them useful on other sources. Take your pick, I think you could try gtr amps or snare (not clipped to the drum, use a stand). Or overheads or drummer vocal mic.
Try it in the PA. Do it for England!
Post by: Chris Grimshaw on March 10, 2018, 03:52:57 AM
I was thinking of putting the mic on something unconventional. If I reported back that an e904 works on snare, that wouldn't really be news - they're drum mics. Overhead, hi-hat or bass amp would raise some eyebrows, as would vocals.
A quick test indicates there's a lot of plosives there (no surprise), so I'm going to add some foam and see what happens. If it works well (and it'd have to work really really well), I might end up doubling my order.

Really quick demo recording of a ukulele in a pub in Sheffield. e904 was around 3-4" out from where the neck meets the body, a little above the instrument pointing 45-degrees downwards so it was pointing at the middle strings. Desk was a QSC TM16, analogue gain all the way up. Apart from normalising the track so it hits 0dBFS and converting to MP3, there's no processing at all. Not even a highpass filter.
https://soundcloud.com/grimshawaudio/e904-uke
Plenty to work with there IMO, and with the monitors firing at the side of the microphone there was still enough GBF to hear the monitors over the instrument. I expect that with the mic angled so it was pointing directly away from the monitors, there'd be even more GBF on offer.
I went back through and also found this:
https://soundcloud.com/grimshawaudio/e904-agtr
Acoustic guitar (obviously), can't remember the mic positioning though - probably around 6" away for a guy standing up with it and having a bit of space to move. There was quite a bit of monitor spill when he started singing, but the vocals were pretty loud and it wasn't exactly close-micing.

Guitar cab
Bass cab (not expecting good results - it was a 1x15" combo with a crapload of low and high boost, cranked up so loud I didn't put it in the PA)
Snare top
Snare bottom
Rack & floor toms
Second kick (same positioning as main kick mic, just outside the port - I wanted to see how it'd do for a main kick mic)
Hi-hat
Overhead
The astute observer will note there's nine things listed. I moved the hat mic to kick after the first set.
It was a small venue, so I didn't need the snare, hat or overhead mics anyway, but I did push the toms up a bit and they sounded fine without any messing around. Guitar cab sounded fine, too. I'll see about posting a couple of clips of each channel.
Its worked out rather difficult to get photos from my phone to your screens, so that'll have to wait until I'm on my laptop.
Chris
Post by: Chris Grimshaw on March 18, 2018, 03:26:15 PM
Mic positioning was all pretty standard. Clipped on to the drums, aimed roughly 2/3rds of the way to the centre. On the cabs, somewhere around half-way between the dustcap and the edge of the cone. Pictures at the bottom. I wanted the guitar amp's mic closer to the centre of the cone, but was limited by mic stand dimensions and stage space. The latter was at a particular premium, with a 6-piece band on a stage around 12' square.
Some tasting notes as I go through the recording...
- There's some missing low-frequency extension with the e904 compared to the kick mic I usually use (sE Electronics X1D, a large-diaphragm condenser). Running both through a spectrum analyser on Audacity shows the X1D has content at 32Hz as strong as 140Hz, and 16Hz is around 3dB down on both.
The e904 has 32Hz 15dB down on 140Hz, and 16Hz around 8dB down on 32Hz, or 23dB down on 140Hz.
That said, it's not necessarily a bad thing. I could take or leave either kick sound. The X1D sounds more "deep" while the e904 is more "punchy". Both would work live just fine, in my opinion, though the X1D means you've got the low-frequency information there if you want it.
So, it'd work in a pinch, but probably wouldn't be my go-to kick mic unless I needed something with a really small form factor. You can bring out some more of the high-end "click" by boosting in the kHz range, and I expect the e904 would work well as an inside kick mic, too.
- Toms sound great as they are. Clip them on, highpass filter if you're willing to expend the effort, push the fader, done. Nice balance of attack and body. Bleed from the rest of the kit sounds exceptionally natural, too - I had to double check to see if I'd left any other channels playing while cueing the toms. There's around 18dB level difference from the rest of the kit to when the toms are hit, so there's not a lot of bleed. It's just what bleed there is sounds good.
Floor tom has enough bottom end, though it wasn't massive - fundamental was just below 90Hz.
- Snare's also great. Same story as the toms. Snare top, snare bottom, invert bottom, push faders. Done. Immediately sounds like the snare itself. You can leave both mics with the same polarity, but you lose the bottom fundamental of the snare, giving a sound that's thinner, but could be considered more "snappy". I wouldn't complain at either sound, but I prefer the fullness of the sound you get from running the bottom inverted.
- Hi-hat works fine. The mic was positioned at the opposite side to where it's being hit, so there's not much stick attack, but the metallic bits sound good - no obvious lack of high-frequency extension.
- The bass cab sounds as good as can be expected with the amp's EQ settings in place. I'm going to reserve judgement on that until I've had chance to use it on an amp that's set up nicely.
- Guitar cab sounds fine. Could be sculpted if you wanted more "edge" on the distortion or whatever, but sounds like the guitar amp from the off. Bit of bleed from the cymbals that happened to be 3' away.
- For me, the absolute standout is using an e904 as an overhead. It works really well - you get a really good overview of the drum kit (with plenty of the drummer's monitor, of course, as he had earplugs in and wanted it turned up). Blend in the kick and you've got a natural-sounding perfectly-mixed kit sound. I'm genuinely amazed at how well this little mic picks everything up. Take the drum parts of Springsteen's Jersey Girl, for example. It's all there. All the bits on the toms, ride cymbal, rim shots on the snare, etc etc. I really hope someone tries this to confirm I'm not going crazy here.

Both "shapes" were enabled. Didn't realise it was that much boost, though. Ouch.
Kinda feeling sorry for the poor bass amp, now. I did notice there was a blinky red light lit up whenever he was playing. Reviewing the pictures, that's "Overload".
I've got mostly acoustic-type stuff for a while now, but will update somewhere if I get to try it with another bass amp.

Post by: David Morison on March 21, 2018, 06:19:04 AM
Both "shapes" were enabled.
The Shape 1/2 button is either/or and the in/out button enables whichever shape is selected, so you can't have both preshapes enabled, unless I misunderstood you?
Shape 1 has boost centred at 50Hz and 2k with cut at 500Hz, Shape 2 has the centres moved up to 100Hz, 650Hz and 3kHz IIRC.

A lot of Trace users seem to think that's more like a "signal present" indicator rather than, as labelled, peak/overload.
Having used a Trace bass amp in the past, I do recall that the peak LED appears to be set somewhat conservatively - there's certainly a small margin of headroom between the indication and any actual audible clipping.
I think it's maybe also a bit like the subset of Midas analogue users who appear to feel that it doesn't sound like a Midas if you're not getting a tiny hint of preamp overload.

Hey David,
Looks like you're right - I've just double-checked the photo. I thought it was like my old Laney bass where there was Shape 1, Shape 2, and you could have one, the other, or both.
For what it's worth, the red light was on solidly whenever he hit a note. That might be a Trace Elliot thing, but I haven't played around with one enough to find out.
Thanks for the info.

The three pack is $2.95 more expensive over purchasing three individuals, odd.Well, the other person did post it wrong. The promotional MAP is actually $99.95. So, the 3-pack is actually only 10¢ more expensive.
That being said, MAP is just that- a Minimum Advertised Price. Dealers are not prohibited from selling for less than MAP, you just cannot advertise for less than that price. If you came to me and asked me to sell you the three-pack for $299.85 (or heck, $299.00- let's make a deal!! haha) I would.
Not as odd as the e604s being on offer for the same price as the e904s were - a moment for some people to kick themselves if they missed out!I don't think it's odd, since there's no base line "standardized discount amount" - it's Sennheiser saying, "Hey, let's celebrate with great prices" and mark different ones down. I missed out on the first half of the year's ordering because I don't get dealer promotion emails for some reason (I yelled at my rep about this. Actually, I was nice.... 'Is this something that only certain dealers are getting to participate in, or what?' haha. He apologized and sent me the sheets for both July and August.) so I don't have a reference as to what exactly the deals were through the year (as in what reductions to //cost// they offer dealers to make it worth it to us!). And sounds like everything is super back ordered, which puts me in a bit of a pickle. I mainly sell on eBay, and therefore I really only like listing things I have in stock and ready to ship. I have the e604s on order, but who knows when they will get here. But if they don't get here by the end of the month, then I won't be able to advertise them for the promotional price, but I will have them, and have paid less than normal for them...... hmmm.
I did not see anything in the literature about embargoing the details for August until it's August, so I'll let you know that August is the Drum Mic pack- normally $999.95 but will be marked down to $699.95. [Since there are other Sennheiser dealers on this forum, I will refrain from any specifics regarding my plans to order any, etc, as I don't want to appear to be soliciting sales without being an advertiser on this forum.]

It was on sale at Gear Fest for $89, which was a better deal, but I didn't pick one up because I am out of room in my mic case. The e904s were a no brainer at $99, but the other offerings have just been an okay deal. I'd love to see the e945 make the list. I could find a way to justify a purchase of some new dynamic vocal mics.

I have been using my new e904s and e902s a lot. I actually like that combination on Leslie speaker, using LP Claws to hold in place.

I wish they would hurry up and put the e906 on sale! I need a couple! :)I think you missed the e906 was on sale in May (http://forums.prosoundweb.com/index.php/topic,166955.msg1539600.html#msg1539600). :(

AFAIK. I wasn't "in the loop" then to know for sure (without having the promo flyers from Sennheiser, which as far as I am concerned, is the final word).

My e904s finally arrived last week. Wish I'd bought one more :(
My Sennheiser backorders are finally caught up and I'm glad I made the purchases when I did.
It appears as though the discounts will be less dramatic going forward. For example, the 3 pack of e604's used to come with their own case. Now, it's just three mics & bags.

Oh well. Hoping they will go on sale for real this year sometime. Until then, I'll keep using 57s.

The e906 thing was a disappointment - I was asleep when that all kicked off (different timezones and all that), so missed out.
Oh well. I use the e904s on cabs and they do the job nicely.

Post by: Wes Garland on July 13, 2018, 09:09:59 AM
I actually passed on a used 906 for $99 right before the sale because I thought I'd be able to get one with a warranty for the same money. Kicking myself now.

Sweetwater has the e614 for $100 today, as does B&H Photo while GC and other stores are still showing $200, so I'd say it is the e614 at 1/2 price for September. I don't really need more condensers, but......

In addition to pattern differences, I find the 945 can have a "huffy" sound characteristic when sung into off angle while the 935 basically retains the same sound within it's wider pattern. I prefer the 935 for anyone playing an instrument and only give a 945 to a pure singer.

Jerry overstocks the ones he thinks will sell and then keeps the price until they are gone.TECHNICALLY he shouldn't be keeping the Evolution celebration price past the end of the month. If he does... Sennheiser could get snippy at him. Although I need to go raise the e614 back from $99.95 to $199.95 now that September is over. WHOOPSIE!

Tim and I are both growing hesitant to openly share the details, since we've been going out of our way to keep people "in the loop" just to see members posting, "omg just totally bought this shizzle from BigBoxRetailer." We like to help our fellow professionals plan their purchasing cycle, etc, but it's a bit frustrating to spend time doing so just to see people purchasing from the BigBoxRetailers.
I hope you understand. :-) We're happy to share details in private messages and get your purchases lined up! [I already have two of November's mics committed to a forum member.]

- We place an order, and it ships with plenty of time to arrive (I got a case of the November mic mid-last-month)
- Once the first of the month hits, we go live
- If we sell them out right away (I burned through a case of 14 e945s in 10, 11 days) and place a *NEW* order for stock, they're back-ordered. I placed an order for 4 more e945s, and they're not expected to ship until mid-November. WHOOPS!

Got a pair on the way. In the "attenuate presence" position they look pretty flat, and the side-address form-factor can be useful at times - brass, hand percussion, and (of course) hanging over the front of a guitar cab.

I've been using the e609 Silver on guitar cabs ever since they were first released. I have been extremely happy with them. When the e906 came out I never considered them as I was very happy with the e609, plus, I don't really like stage mics that have switches.
I have been in the market lately for an additional mic with this same form factor and I was considering trying the CAD D80. The sale price on the 906 was too good to pass up so I did order one.
Last summer I had a band come through that brought their own mics. For kick they brought a BeyerDynamic TGD71. I was so impressed with this mic I ordered one the next day. I had been using the Audix D6 before. The TGD71 only works if the kick has a hole in the head. This covers me 90% of the time. For the other 10% the Audix comes back out.
I highly recommend the TGD71. The other nice thing about this model is that it eliminates the need for a kick mic stand.
I've also used it inside a cajon with spectacular results.

Hi Robert,
Thanks for the recommendation. I have a Shure Beta-91 (original version) around here somewhere, but it rarely gets used - getting it into ports has been tricky at times, so I tend to put a mic at the port. That said, I'll keep an eye out for the Beyer on your recommendation.
I wasn't keen on the Audix D6 - I prefer to apply that sort of "scoop" EQ as/when I think it's right, rather than having it inherent within the mic itself.
My current kick mic is an SE Electronics X1D, which I find usually sounds great, but it's big, bulky, requires phantom power, and the switches are quite easy to disturb. I did a gig recently where the band had brought a helper, who was mostly just helping get amps on/off stage. When they started, the kick sounded pretty rubbish - turned out the helper had kindly repositioned the (side-address) kick mic so that the end was just into the port (Beta-52a style), and then switched in the 80Hz highpass. I was positioning mics on amps, and hadn't noticed that until the band started up.
People can be so un-helpful.
For what it's worth, the e906's switch is slightly recessed into the mic - you need something small to switch it. Not gonna get disturbed unless someone does it intentionally, and even then, it's only a couple of dB each way from my measurements.
Chris

The TGD71 is smaller than the Beta91(current model).
The TGD71 is 86mm wide and the Beta91 is 95.11 mm in width.
I have used the Beyerdynamic on about 25 shows now and I have always been able to get the mic through the hole in the kick head. It was tight a few times but still got it in with no problem.
I recorded the audio to this video straight off the board (2 track mono) using the TGD71 on the kick.

Thanks for the info on the e906 switches. I am glad to hear that they designed the switch in that manner.

Just received a few E935's, looking real hard at adding some E906's and TG D71.
Easily pass on the 58's and D112. Good thing there are so many mics to choose from.
Why does GAS get more expensive over the years? Personal money, bass guitar as an example - went from borrowed Behringer DI, to Radial ProDI, to JDI, now I just "must" buy a Radial Firefly.

I've occasionally put my Beta 91 on the floor next to the kick pedal to pick up the beater head of a kick drum. Works OK. e902 or SM57 on the resonant head.
Hi Tim,
Sounds good!
I generally prefer to stay with single-mic techniques if I can, though.
Robert, that Beyerdynamic mic does sound good! Did you have much/any processing applied?
TIA,
Chris

Hi Chris, yes to the processing.
I am using a QU24 mixer and calling up the KK1 EQ preset in the QU's library. I then sweep the kick channel HP filter to find the sweet spot, usually set somewhere between 55-70Hz.
I take the AES output from the QU into a Waves MaxxBCL. The MaxxBCL analog outs feed the FOH system and I take the spidf output into my recorder (Tascam Solid State) The recording therefore has the benefit of the Waves processing. The MaxxBCL is a hardware unit that has three sections - Renaissance Compressor, MaxxBass, L2 limiter.
The TGD71 was the first Beyerdynamic mic that I owned. I was so impressed with it that I looked at their other offerings. I bought a pair of M201TG mics and started rotating the pair on different sources at successive concerts. Snare and Hi Hat, rack and floor toms, overheads, horns, acoustic guitars. They excelled on all the sources.
I pretty much cleaned house of my mics (mostly EV N/DYM mics from the 90's) and replaced them with the M201TG mics.
So the standard mic pack I know carry is:
Kick - TGD71 (1) Audix D6 (1)
Guitar/Harp Cabinets - e609 (4)
Vocal - Heil PR35 (original model) (8)
Everything else - M201TG (10)
Countryman and Radial direct boxes
I also keep a couple of SM 57 and 58 in the van for those few singers who won't use anything else.

Thanks, glad I was able to get those out in time for your show. How did it work out?It worked out perfectly. The trio of female singers sang together the entire night, so having the same mics for all three helped the vocals blend perfectly in the mix.
I used the Sennheiser e906 on the snare drum and I now think it's my favorite mic for snare.
Post by: Chris Grimshaw on November 16, 2018, 11:14:50 AM
More feedback than a DI box, but they sounded decent enough - much better than some of the built-in pickups, and more convenient than messing with 1/4" jack cables.
I'm rather hoping the E914 is December's mic, although my bank account would prefer otherwise.

E906 is an interesting choice on an acoustic guitar. I prefer something I can position further away with a larger pattern as the singer songwriter crowd tends to not stay in place well... Audix VX-5 works amazingly well for this.
Best so far for me has been an LDC on a stick for vocal with an SDC mounted on the same stand at belt height. This was for an old style ‘grass event series. multiple singers / players that understood how the old school worked... the SDC was there for the dreadnaught while fiddle and mango came in through the LDC as did all the vocals. We also had a soloist position LDC on a straight stand that the players adjusted to height instrument depending.
And the monitors were not screaming loud... event sponsors are huge bluegrass fans and so the folks they brought in really understood how this works...

It sure is.
Works fine, though. Smoother than a '57, and I quite like the side-address form factor.
It wouldn't be my first choice mic for that application, but it's good to know I could have decent results with it on sources other than guitar amps.

Can we assume that this means you received word on what December's mic is?

Works for Cajon front mic.
... and also cajon rear. Usual positoning - put it over the soundhole at the back. I find a low-shelf cut below 200Hz helps get a balance between the boom and the snares. How much attenuation will depend on the player's technique, but -6dB has been a pretty good starting point.
I did some quick-and-dirty measurements and found the e906 and e904 come out pretty similar. The e904 diverges above 6kHz, being 5dB hotter by 11kHz, where it falls off sharply. They're equal in level again by around 12kHz.
I wouldn't say they're perfectly interchangeable, but I can certainly see why you could swap their roles and get acceptable results.

Does anyone still have couple of Senny E935's left at the special price? Tim you're not returning my PM's.

I've sent two so far. You can email me [email protected], as well.
I got the second one (as you know now anyway)- thanks Tim..... You obviously sent the first one from Mars while you were helping to colonize there ;)

I'm still waiting for mine - back ordered.

Can't speak for Tim, but I still have a pile in stock. Sometimes (especially for these promotions) it's better to hit up us smaller dealers-- with less of a demand we're able to better manage our sales versus inventory. :-)
For this month, I just ran out of the e906, so am ordering another case-- might not get here until the end of the month, but am taking reservations on those 14pcs. As a point of reference, I ran out of the e945s by the second week of October, but I had four more in stock by the end of the month. It's funny: When I order the promo mic *before* the promotional month, they ship quickly, but once the month hits, they go TOS quickly. woo hoo!

I have a pile of 906's but am out of everything else. Just sent a FB guy your way for a 945, Ray. I missed out on ordering more of the VOX mics, bummer.TECHNICALLY... A sale consummated *after* the promotional period ended wouldn't be eligible for the promotional pricing. OTOH, as a dealer, we're free to set whatever price we want, as long as it's not *advertised.*
*shrugs* I dunno.
While we are on the subject of remaining stock, is it safe to assume that no one has any 904s left at promo price? Here is to hoping, can't believe I missed those....I have some e604s/three-packs, but never got in the loop for the e904s.

FWIW, the e906 and e904 aren't that far off - around 5dB at 11kHz.
Different pickup patterns and form factors, though.
