Sennheiser E608 Reviews

brass mics

I used them on Sax alto the first time that I have opened this mic and I was impressed with the sound quality and the firm grip they have. With few Eq this mice are excellent on any brass instrument I am very pleased that I have bought them and surly I will buy more.

great sounding for clarinet, but poorly built

The wire between the mic and the goose neck broke after one year of reasonable use, taking care of it, also they made it very difficult to repair it, nothing's really dismountable without tearing it apart... The sound rendition for clarinet is good, although could need a DI box.

Excellent mic from trumpet/sax/trombone

This mic sounds great on trumpet, sax and trombone. It has better bass response than you might expect from a small mic like this.

The shockmount is particularly good, resulting in almost no key/valve noise.

The only complaint I have is that the clip feels a little loose on the bell. I've never had it fall off, but I wouldn't want to move around too much with it.

The only Pro saxophone mic I will ever use

I have had 3 of these now. They provide excellent quality sound for a very good price, not only on stage but also for studio recording. Provides a bright sound I love on my Alto sax, and is dynamic, no phantom power or battery pack needed.

The grip occasionally falls off the bell of the sax while I'm performing (moving round a bit) - which is not good.

However they do wear out, not the mic but the very thin cable which is vulnerable especially where it meets the clip (even Sennheiser agree), and I have had to replace them every 2 years or so. I hope they will develop a sturdier cable.
