Sennheiser e 609

Bernard · 22nd July 2003, 12:04 AM

I've been offered a pair of the silver limited edition sennheiser e 609 for a good price. I was thinking of using them for toms and I've heard they're ok on gtr cabinets and on brass instruments. Has anyone tried these in any or all of these applications? Any feedback appreciated. Thanks.

I just got a pair recently but I've only had a chance to use them once. on toms and snare. very clear sharp sound. I had them going into a fatso which rounded the sound out nicely. wish I had more info for you. I'll let you know when I've had a chance to try them out more.

Had one for years. Use it on guitar cab, always. Love it, don't need eq.
Cheers

Also sound great on small percussion, like bongos and congas. I used one paired up with at RE-20 on a Bodran (Irish drum) a while ago and it sounded great.

Thanks for the advise. Just got a pair of these and I'ill be doing gtrs cabs and horns in the coming weeks. I'll let you know my impressions.

Did you get the Silver or the Black series? Very different.
Look for my post in RAP under "e609 silver" and you will find a comparison. I have both.

I should know this but I can't seem to locate this forum. Is that Recording Audio Pro??

Have fun.

Thanks Tee. I somehow had the feeling the answer was right under my nose.

Hey Tubedude are you going by a different name in RAP cause I did about twelve searches and found alot of useful feedback on the e609 but I couldn't find your handle anywhere?
