mids, smoother sound
balanced, natural sound
good starting position:
microphone directed towards the middle between
dome and edge of the loudspeaker
If necessary, turn the microphone by approx. 30°
towards the edge.

D more fundamental tone
little overtones position on the drum:
• 3–5 cm above the batter head
• directed towards the center of the batter head
The fundamental tone to overtones ratio can be
adjusted via the angle. The most balanced results are
obtained at an angle of 30–60°.

Adapting the sound characteristics
The e 906 features a switchable presence filter which allows to adapt the microphone to the diffe-
rent sound requirements and styles (see frequency response).
Use a pointed tool such as a small screwdriver to move the 3-position slide switch to the desired
position.
Position Setting Suitability
boosted presence range e.g. for aggressive metal rhythm guitars
normal presence range e.g. for classic rock
attenuated presence range e.g. for warm and smooth jazz and blues sounds
The mid frequency of the presence filter is 4.2 kHz.
