The Sennheiser E604 is a rugged, cardioid instrument microphone especially designed to handle the sound pressure levels of drums, percussion and brass instruments without noise and peak distortion. The E604 features a cardioid polar pattern that is effective in minimizing noise and feedback at the off-axis sections of the capsule. The element features a neodymium magnet with borron. The result is a high output gain with low noise and reliable performance regardless of climate. An integral stand mount screws directly onto mic stands and the included clip attaches the microphone to the rim of a drum.
