Sennheiser e609 and e906

This week we're looking at another pair of alternatives to the SM57 for guitar and percussion duty. With an almost 60 year history, the e609 and e906 come from a storied history that saw revision after revision of chasing the bottom line to the mics we have today. Love 'em or hate 'em the mics are still a live sound go-to and find their place occasionally in the studio as well. ***CONTENTS*** 00:00 - Intro 00:26 - History of the 609 and 906 07:00 - Electric Guitar Test 07:01 - e609 3" from grille 07:15 - e906 flat 3" 07:28 - e906 Boost 3" 07:41 - e906 Cut 3" 07:55 - SM57 3" 08:10 - All Mics Same Order 08:24 - e609 3" From Grille 08:38 - e906 Flat 3" 08:51 - e906 Boost 3" 09:05 - e906 Cut 3" 09:19 - SM57 3" 09:32 - All Mics Same Order 09:43 - e609 3" From Grille 09:54 - e906 Flat 3" 10:04 - e906 Boost 3" 10:15 - e906 Cut 3" 10:25 - SM57 3" 10:36 - All Mics Same Order 10:44 - Conga Test 10:49 - SM57 12" Above 10:59 - 906 Flat 12" Above 11:09 - e906 Boost 12" Above 11:19 - e906 Cut 12" Above 11:29 - e609 12" Above 11:40 - Drum Test 11:45 - e609 Rack Tom 1 11:54 - e906 Flat Rack Tom 1 12:03 - e906 Boost Rack Tom 1 12:12 - e906 Cut Rack Tom 1 12:21 - SM57 Rack Tom 1 12:32 - All Mics Same Order 12:38 - e609 Floor Tom 12:47 - e906 Flat Floor Tom 12:56 - e906 Boost Floor Tom 13:05 - e906 Cut Floor Tom 13:14 - SM57 Floor Tom 13:23 - All Mics Same Order 13:29 - Conclusion
