Sennheiser E 904

Sennheiser E904 is a dynamic cardioid microphone designed specifically for drums and percussion. Engineered by one of the world’s leading microphone manufacturers, it delivers expressive, punchy sound reproduction and exceptional durability, making it a favorite among live sound engineers and touring musicians. Compact, rugged, and easy to mount, the E904 ensures reliable performance on toms, snares, and percussion instruments.

The cardioid pickup pattern isolates the instrument perfectly, minimizing bleed from surrounding sources. Its fast transient response and extended frequency range (40 Hz – 18 kHz) capture both the attack and body of the drum sound with stunning precision. The solid steel housing withstands rough handling, while the integrated hum-compensation coil ensures interference-free operation even on loud stages.

The included MZH 604 drum clamp allows quick and secure attachment directly to the drum rim — ideal for close-miking setups. Awarded both the TEC Award and the MIPA Award in 2005 as part of the Evolution 900 Series, the E904 remains a trusted industry standard for drummers and engineers seeking clarity, punch, and consistency in any environment.
