Sennheiser Evolution 900 Series Microphone: Designed for
Musicians with best set of microphones Drummer can imagine
Sennheiser has the right microphone for everyone in Evolution
Wired Microphone line - the 900 Series. The evolution
wired 900 series: conceived of as a harmonically calibrated
family, these high-end microphones combine demanding
sound with unmatched reliability. Uncompromising
stage equipment for uncompromising professionals. The
evolution wired mics simply evolve along any sound.
All the microphones in this series have in common is
impressive sound, a clear focus on the job at hand and
extreme ruggedness. These mics have been created in the
best tradition of German engineering and are the result
of the dedication of our engineers, of countless tests, and
of the most meticulous manufacturing processes.
All 900 Series microphones are designed to offer transparent
sound, be insensitive to handling noise, and feature excellent
transient response and feedback rejection. Tight and uniform
polar patterns, tighter manufacturing tolerances and gold XLR
pins are common to the entire line. Targeted to professional
musicians, PA rental companies and rehearsal studios, the
900 Series is optimized for all measurable parameters. While
there are microphones for every professional in Evolution
900 Series, we will focus on mics designed for drumkit
Sennheiser E901: The e 901 is a rugged boundary microphone
that handles high sound pressure levels extraordinarily well.
Tailored to give the kick drum a highly precise, very dry
sound character, the e 901 makes every attack lightning fast
and realistic. The integrated preamp and gold-plated XLR
connector have proven themselves to be exceptionally practical
on stage. With half-cardioid polar pattern, the 901 delivers
faster transient response, does not require a stand, and comes
with a non-skid pad and slots for permanent mounting.
Sennheiser E902: If we have to describe this mic one line,
you can clearly say, “Clean bass meets precise punch”. The
e 902 is especially designed for the low sound spectrum and

convinces with firm, clearly defined bass sounds with a tight
punch. The strongly contoured frequency response features
a pronounced damping of the mid-range and an accentuated
emphasis of the high-end and bass. It offers a clear, grainy
sound with a full body and a precise kick that effortlessly
asserts itself in a band context. The sound of the e 902 can
be flexibly shaped by its positioning in the drum set: from
warm and round to sharp and direct. The rugged housing
meets the hardest of demands during live gigs. Evolution 902
offers higher resonant frequency (65Hz), a shock-mounted
capsule with integrated clip mouth, and delivers more
punch and tighter response of the lowest bass signals.
Sennheiser E904: It’s consistent frequency response creates
a sound that is as transparent as it is harmonic and that can
be wonderfully shaped. It can be cleanly embedded in the
drum mix thanks to its precise attacks and voluminous body.
The set receives an extremely energetic and defined sound
with this microphone. The e 904 reliably withstands even the
hardest direct hits. The dynamic cardioid Evolution 904 drum
instrument mic features a high mass metal chassis for greater
stability with powerful, punchy sound characteristics suitable
for a variety of musical styles. Thanks to its practical clip, it is
child's play to attach to the rims of snares and tom-toms. And,
with its compact form, it takes up a very small amount of space.
Sennheiser E914: The e 914 is a condenser microphone of
the superior class with a full-bodied sound and excellent
dynamics. Its silky character, never headstrong, is
developed from the gentle emphasis of the sophisticated
treble. Its straightforward transient response accurately
captures the temperament of each set, even at very high
sound pressure levels. With its detailed resolution, the
e 914 makes every live drum sound more refined. The
capsule has extraordinary feedback resistance and can be
individually adapted to various needs with three positions
of bass roll-off/cut-off and pre-attenuation can be set.
