Sennheiser E901 Half Cardioid Condenser

Overview

The Sennheiser E901 - Half Cardioid Condenser is ideal for capturing kick drums, bass cabinets, and other low-frequency signal sources. The E901's capsule is designed around a pre-polarized half-cardioid condenser element that provides exceptional signal reproduction while eliminating noise and reflections from the surface. The thin, high-strength diaphragm delivers a low bass response and reproduces fast transient signals without peak distortion. A rubber damping plate absorbs noise associated with vibration.
