Sennheiser Electronics Corporation e 901
Cardioid Condenser Microphone
The e901 is a boundary microphone designed specifically for use on kick drum. It has an electret condenser element and a half-spherical pickup pattern (as is typical for boundary microphones).
According to MIX, the capsule is Sennheiser’s KE10, with a diameter of 10mm.
Unlike most boundary mics, the e901 has a frequency response tailored for use on kick drums: its amplifier circuit equalizes the mic’s output signal by scooping the mid frequencies slightly. The mic has a broad, flat HF boost: +12dB from 3kHz–12kHz.
MIX, 2005-09
This mic produces an extremely sharp, percussive attack that is natural-sounding because it is real and not contrived by EQ’ing and compressing a main kick mic. However, you must use another mic to get the rest of the kick’s sound to complete the sonic picture.
The Sennheiser Electronics Corporation e 901 is also known as: e901, evolution 901.
