- Reviewed in Canada on June 17, 2021Verified PurchaseFrom micing electric guitar cabs to vocal for interviews and pod casts.
This mic completely destroys the Shure sm7b and that mic is the gold standard in radio work.
This mic is completely clean, just add a foam filter over the head so you can kill the bass thumps when you
are close to the mic head face.
I got the Seinheiser e609 but it was way too bright and not enough sensitivity so you had to crank up the amp on the interface. So ended up grabbing this one.
There is no doubts about this E906 it is very well made and the self noise is super quiet.
5 stars.
- Reviewed in Canada on March 20, 2020Verified PurchaseThe best microphones I've used on guitar for the price. These mics can be used for multiple applications but they were designed for guitar and that is readily evident. With the mic up against the grill of a guitar amp I need very little if any noise gate on the resulting recorded track due to the unidirectional nature of the mic... so I was happy to find very little bleed when used in a noisy live type environment. Provides a well balanced capture of guitars, tending to a nice round analog sound but with great definition... would highly recommend these microphones for guitars be it for live or in the recording studio.
- Reviewed in Canada on April 19, 2025Verified PurchaseGreat mic for recording guitar amps. Very happy with its response and how it captures my guitar. Definitely a strong well rounded mic for the purpose.
- Reviewed in Canada on April 28, 2023Verified PurchaseThis changed my snare sound for the better, and I use it on guitar and vocals even these days. Great robust mic.
- Reviewed in Canada on July 26, 2021Verified PurchasePicked this mic up on sale and would¡¯ve been just as happy with its quality at full price. One of the best amp mics around and a noticeable upgrade on the e609. Instant improvement on my SM57 that I was using prior to this.
- Reviewed in Canada on November 30, 2018Verified PurchaseI wasn't even going to buy this mic, but I love my other 906 and this one was such a great price I just had to buy it! Arrived quickly. My favorite mic for micing guitar amps.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great microphone for guitar and vocals
Verified PurchaseI got two of these mics when they were on sale from Âé¶¹Çø Japan for around AU$185 each, and they sound great on most things I've put them in front of. They work well on guitar of course, but I was surprised by how well they worked for voice. One of my favourite uses for them is to combine one of them with an SM57 -- the 906 has a more neutral sound, while the SM57 gives more bite to the upper mids, and you can blend them together to taste.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellents microphones
Verified PurchaseCe micro est excellent pour l¡¯usage pour lequel il est pr¨¦vu. je sonorise une guitare basse et une guitare ¨¦lectrique. Le son est excellent et l¡¯inst¡ìallation du micro simplissime. Je le suspend depuis le haut de chaque ampli, coll¨¦ contre la grille et l¨¦g¨¨rement d¨¦centr¨¦ par rapport au HP. Aucun effet larsen, aucun son parasite. Ravi de mon achat !
