906

High-quality dynamic microphone with super-cardioid

pick-up pattern, ideal for miking guitar amps, percussion

instruments, snares and toms.

Its laterally mounted capsule has been specially

developed for miking guitars amps face on and and

extremely close to the signal source.

Theswitchablesoundcharacteristicshavebeenoptimally

adapted to the requirements of guitarists.

The super-cardioid pick-up pattern provides good

isolation from other on-stage signals.

Due to its flat design, the 906 is also very suitable for

use with drums, since it can easily be positioned in

cramped space conditions (e.g. below the cymbals).

Adapting the sound characteristics

The 906 microphone features a switchable presence

filter which allows to adapt the sound characteristics to

the different sound requirements and styles.

The filter is adjusted via the slide switch on the

microphone. To move the slide switch to a different

position, use a pointed tool such as a small screwdriver.

The switch has three positions (see also the frequency

response curve):

Boosts the presence range, the mid frequency is

4.2 kHz, e.g. for aggressive metal rhythm guitars.

Normal position, e.g. for classic rock.

Attenuates the presence range, the mid frequency

is 4 kHz, e.g. for warm and smooth jazz and blues

sounds.
