Expert Audio Engineering Commentary

Tonal Profile

The metal-bodied tom microphone of the 900 series: cardioid dynamic, 40 Hz to 18 kHz, integrated stand mount plus a rim clip. Two decibels hotter than the e 604 that sits below it in the range and built to survive being played rather than merely being near a drum.

Gain Staging Advice

2 mV/Pa is -54.0 dBV/Pa. Sennheiser prints the minimum terminating impedance, 1 kilohm, against a 350 ohm source - useful when a drum kit's worth of these lands on a small digital desk whose input impedance is not published.
