help Sennheiser e 604 FAQ
Can the Sennheiser e 604 clip directly onto a drum rim?
Yes. It is commonly supplied with Sennheiser's MZH 604 drum clamp, allowing the microphone to sit close to a tom or snare without a separate floor stand.
What is the frequency response of the Sennheiser e 604?
Sennheiser specifies a response of 40 Hz to 18 kHz. Its cardioid dynamic capsule is voiced for the fast attack and high sound-pressure levels produced by drums and brass instruments.
Does an e 604 require phantom power?
No. The e 604 is a passive dynamic microphone with a standard XLR output, so it does not need 48-volt phantom power.
Should I use an e 604 or an e 904 on toms?
Both are compact Sennheiser cardioid dynamics intended for drums, but the e 904 is the higher-tier model with a somewhat fuller and more refined presentation. The 60-gram e 604 remains popular when low weight, easy rim mounting, and replacement cost matter.
