The e 906

A more direct sound – more directly from the amp.

The e 906 captures the guitar sound just as you want it to be: from

clean to distorted, from gentle to aggressive. It provides a high-

resolution, natural sound without unwanted coloration. The transient

response of the e 906 convinces in every style: it even transmits riffs

with an extremely hard punch directly and straightforward.

The microphone features a switchable presence filter with three

sound characteristic options: one to boost the presence range, one for

“normal” presence and one to attenuate the presence range.

Thanks to its flat shape, the e 906 can be positioned in front of the

amp hanging from its cable – completely without a stand. Not to men-

tion its distinctly rugged design.

Using the microphone

Positioning the microphone an a guitar amp B

Pos. Resulting sound Commentary

B.1 • many trebles

• aggressive sound

microphone directed towards the

dome of the loudspeaker

B.2 • less trebles

• more lower 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.

B.3 • less trebles

• more lower mids

• smoother sound

microphone directed towards the

edge of the loudspeaker

Positioning the microphone on a drum B

Pos. Resulting sound Commentary

B.4 • 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 obtai-

ned at an angle of 30–60°.

B.5 • less fundamental

tone

• many overtones

Positioning the monitor loudspeakers B

XTo prevent feedback and crosstalk, postion your monitor loudspea-

kers in the angle area of the highest cancellation of the microphone

(approx. 120°).

Adapting the sound characteristics

The e 906 features a switchable presence filter which allows to adapt

the microphone to the different sound requirements and styles (see

also the frequency response curve D).

XUse a pointed tool such as a small screwdriver to move the 3-positi-

on slide switch Bto the desired position.

Pos. 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.
