Sennheiser e908 B Instrument Microphone

The e 908 is Sennheiser's clip-on condenser instrument microphone, built to mic wind and brass, congas, and drums up close without a stand crowding the player. A long, flexible gooseneck and a shock-mounted head let you position the capsule precisely on the bell or shell and lock it there, and the integrated shock absorber keeps structure-borne handling noise out of the signal. The pre-polarized condenser element captures the attack and high-definition detail of an instrument in a way a clip-on dynamic cannot, with a cardioid pattern that favors the source and rejects the rest of the stage.

The page covers the e 908 family: the e 908 B tuned for wind and brass and the e 908 D voiced for drums both terminate in the intelligent MZA 900 P in-line preamp, which carries the cable, phantom power, and a level check to a balanced XLR-3 output. The e 908 B ew variant instead ends in a 3.5 mm locking jack for Sennheiser evolution wireless bodypacks. Each ships with its mounting clamp, a windshield, a pouch, and quick and safety guides.
