re using the product.

• Make this instruction manual easily accessible to all users at all

times.

• Always include this instruction manual when passing the product

on to third parties.

Before operation

• Only connect the product to microphone inputs or power supply

units which provide 48 V phantom power as per IEC 61938

(48 ± 4 V, at least 3.5 mA per channel).

• Never open the housing of the product. If products are opened by

customers in breach of this instruction, the warranty becomes null

and void.

• Only use attachments, accessories or spare parts specified by

Sennheiser.

During operation

• Liquids entering the product can short-circuit the electronics or

damage the mechanics. Keep all liquids away from the product.

• Solvents or cleansing agents can damage the surface of the

product. Only use a soft, slightly damp cloth to clean the product.

• Do not expose the product to extreme temperatures.

After operation

• Handle the product with care and store it in a clean, dust-free

environment.

Intended use

Intended use includes:

• having read this instruction manual, especially the chapter

“Important safety information”,

• using the product within the operating conditions and limitations

described in this instruction manual.

“Improper use” means using the product other than as described in

this instruction manual, or under operating conditions which differ

from those described herein.

The e 914

The cardioid e 914 is a pre-polarised condenser microphone designed

for demanding applications which require a wide frequency response,

high sound pressure level, fast transient response and a compact

design. With its frequency response of 20 Hz to 20 kHz, the e 914 is

able to capture the full sound of the instrument, while its cardioid pick-

up pattern isolates the microphone from other on-stage signals.

An excellent microphone for cymbals and hi-hat, the e 914 is also an

ideal choice for precussion, woodwind and string instruments. Its excel-

lent acoustic properties also make it a valuable tool for home recording,

the project studio and live stereo pair recording.

Features

• Condenser microphone

• Perfect for ambitious live audio recordings

• Excellent dynamics and vibrant sound for a wide variety of instru-

ments

• Processes very high SPLs

• Three-position bass roll-off/cut-off switch

• Three-position pre-attenuation

Sensitivity and bass filter

The e 914 is equipped with a three-position sensitivity switch (3) and

a bass filter switch (4).

Adjusting the sensitivity (3)

The microphone sensitvity can remain unchanged (0) or be reduced

by 10 dB or 20 dB. The latter is recommended when there is a risk that

the microphone or subsequent microphone input is overmodulated,

e.g. due to high sound pressure levels from drums, brass instruments,

etc.

Note:

We recommend that you mute the corresponding microphone channel

on the mixing console before connecting and disconnecting the micro-

phone cable, switching on and off the phantom powering or setting

the switches (see figure above).

Adjusting the bass filter (4)

The e 914 has been designed for an extended low-frequency bass

response. With certain live or close instrument miking applications, an

over-emphasis of the low frequencies can occur. This can be compen-

sated for by the 6 dB/octave roll-off filter. The cut-off filter reduces

low-frequency wind noise by 18 dB/octave.

Using the microphone

Positioning the microphone B

Percussion

Pos. Commentary

B.1 Position the microphone a few centimetres above the

outer edge of the hi-hat aiming down. If necessary, remove

unwanted low-frequency signal portions by high pass

filtering.

Attention: When closing the hi-hat, a strong air current is

created on the edge. If the microphone is positioned too close

to the edge, interfering noise due to the air current can occur.

B.2 Good starting position for live miking applications. If the

overhead microphones are only used for picking up the

cymbals, unwanted signal portions can be attenuated by high

pass filtering

In order to prevent interference due to crosstalk between adjacent

sound sources, try to position the microphone so that the interfering

sound source is located in the angle area of the highest cancellation of

the microphone (approx. 180°, see polar diagram).

Cleaning and maintaining the e 914

Caution Liquids can damage the electronics of the product!

Liquids entering the housing of the product can cause

a short-circuit and damage the electronics.

Keep all liquids away from the product.

Do not use any solvents or cleansing agents

XUnscrew the sound inlet basket 1.

XRemove the foam insert from the sound inlet basket 1.

XUse a slightly damp cloth to clean the sound inlet basket 1 from

the inside and ouside.

XReinsert the foam insert into the sound inlet basket 1and replace

the sound inlet basket on the microphone and screw it tight.
