Sennheiser E901 evolution 900 Series Half-Cardioid Boundary Mic

Boundary Condenser Mic for Kick Drum

Dry, Detailed, and Ready to Mix

The e 901 delivers a full-bodied, clean kick drum sound that's ready for live or studio mixes without heavy EQ shaping. The condenser design ensures lightning-fast attack capture and natural low-end extension perfect for modern rock, pop, metal, and any genre that demands punch, clarity, and power.

Simplicity Meets Professionalism

With the e 901, there's no need for elaborate mic stands or risky positioning tricks. Simply place it inside the drum, connect via the built-in XLR, and you're ready. Thanks to its robust construction and slip-free rubber base, it'll stay locked in place.

Built for the Beat

Designed to meet the brutal demands of live sound, the e 901 features a rugged, reinforced metal housing that shrugs off stage punishment and heavy bass energy. Its ability to handle extreme SPLs without breaking up ensures that no matter how hard you play, your kick drum sound stays clean, powerful, and precise.

Also Great on Grand Piano

Thanks to its half-cardioid pickup pattern, low-profile form factor, and fast transient response, the e 901 also excels inside a grand piano. Placed on the soundboard or harp, it captures a bright, clean piano tone with exceptional attack and clarity ideal for jazz, pop, or amplified classical performances in live settings and recording environments.
