Sennheiser e 908 B Cardioid Condenser Microphone for Wind Instruments (XLR)

Professional Cardioid Condenser Flexible Gooseneck Microphone for Wind Instruments with Dual Mounting Clip and Detachable Preamp

Solid, focused and precisely positionable.

The high-end sound of a condenser microphone is combined with the features of professional stage equipment to make the e908 a small, highly flexible marvel. With an open and high-definition character, it creates surprisingly forceful sounds. It transmits the attack in a very clear and defined manner while structure-borne noise is reliably suppressed. Thanks to its shock-mounted head, gooseneck and special clips, the e908 can be quickly attached and precisely oriented to the sound source. Despite its delicate form, the microphone is ruggedly constructed and easily takes even hard hits. The e908 is available in four models:
