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.
