Boundary, Half Cardioid
Description
Boundary Half-Cardioid for Precise Stage Sound
The Sennheiser E901 is a professional boundary microphone with a half-cardioid polar pattern, designed specifically for close-miking instruments such as drums, percussion, and guitar amps. Its flat, low-profile design allows for discreet placement directly on surfaces like drum shells or amps—no mic stand needed, just lay it on a towel or pillow for optimal placement.
Optimized especially for bass drum frequency response, the E901 can handle extremely high SPLs, making it perfect for capturing punchy, clear low-end sound without distortion. The standard XLR connector means no adaptor cables are required, simplifying setup on busy stages.
