The Sennheiser e604 Dynamic Microphone is a compact cardioid instrument microphone that is compatible with toms, snares, and percussion. It clips-on quickly and easily wherever you choose.
The Sennheiser e604 Dynamic Microphone is specially designed to handle the high SPLs of drums, percussion, woodwind, and brass instruments without distortion. The frequency response and cardioid pick-up pattern are optimized for drum sets and other percussion instrument miking, while also producing exceptional results on all forms of brass and woodwind. An integral stand mount screws directly onto mic stands and included clip attaches mic to rim of drum. Very high sound pressure level handling, in excess of 160 dB, is combined with a balanced, clear, low distortion signal similar to a high-end studio condenser microphone. Lightweight voice coil provides extended high frequency and rapid transient response. A tough reinforced glass fiber body takes the knocks and shocks and suppresses impact noise.

What We Think
The Sennheiser E604 is one of my favorites, and I regularly use it in my sessions. Though it is primarily designed as tom mic, I really like it on snare. And well this is a very surprising mic on guitar cab, it has a really smooth response to it, which I love. I personally think of this as the 421's little brother. It has a similar sound, but a little less bottom end. Great for snare, mounted toms, and guitar cab. You might as well grab a three pack, you'll want like them that much."

Exceptional mic for Toms or Snare
Jun 2nd 2011I've been using the e604's as my go-to mic for toms for many years now. They also make an outstanding snare mic, with a lot of crack to poke through in a mix. They're very small, so they're easy to position in tight spaces without getting in the way. My only complaint is that the included clips don't work with most RIMS-type suspension tom mounts, so if your drums are so equipped, you'll need to buy some different clip, or mount the mics on a stand.
