All user reviews for the Sennheiser e 608

Hypercardiodes so-called destiny to save the brass or percussion

OVERALL OPINION

I bought it last month.
I dj a park with shure microphones (SM57, SM58, beta 57a, e16), a beyer, a audiotechnica AT33a, a Sennheiser e 602, a samson. I bought this because I record Sennheiser live only in a jazz band and I n'tait not happy about the results obtained on the sax tnor with other microphones. Given the reputable brand and the characters "ddiquot, this microphone, I expected a good rsultat. Is in fact your exact CATASTROPHIC. Dj this micro really junk and if you impessive DBAL the gear is not favorable. The cable connection looks really fragile. The method of fixing plasticky does not inspire confidence. More importantly, your exact record is abysmal with low flat treble screaming + + + and a level of really low. Can be by using a pre amp lamp, your exact would be better?
Still, I get a rsultat all - perfectly acceptable (and therefore compared 10 times better) with a good old Shure SM57 or better with the Shure beta 57 a.
Conclusion: it borders on fraud.
This is the time I dernire of sennheiser.
By the way, the e 602 in the same fate marks the kick is not amazing either.

On paper, this sounds interesting.

OVERALL OPINION

I rented this microphone for a bassoon sonnoriser by attaching to the roof (cap, language bassoon). What a disappointment! Same recognition that other opinions. No serious and very weak signal. His only interest is its low weight. It's lighter

Finally, we put a Sennheiser E604.
Added in February 2006 I stumbled upon this opinion that I left and suggesting that the E604 is the case in this case. Its only advantage over the E608 is the output level. Otherwise it's a completely inappropriate for an acoustic instrument, I also tried on toms, it's the same, it sounds like its a bad synth.

Micro forceps for brass and percussions. tiny cell on flexible. The clip is a little light, it took me to hack it to rsiste jumps and movements that can undergo a trumpet. It is the only criticism I make this microphone, which did not apply the maximum
o I do not see people who put a notice prcdement see a feeble output level, I find the contrary qu'tant given the size of the cell, the output signal is quite honorable ( It takes approximately 30 dB gain, 15 less than the E825 the same brand).

OVERALL OPINION

Ct quality not much to complain about, except that it is abusing the treble, but was quickly arranged, the EQ, get a piece around 3kHz. I think it would be interesting to take a studio, to complter by overhead, which would sound less "dry" (for this one little trick: a rverb as "NaturalVerb" Steinberg, RULES of 2 or 3 with 600ms of delay suits pretty things).
I also test snare, for a, an ide: put it under, guides to the skin cell from the bottom, made her a less mtallique on my peavey any pourrite and the thing quickly dgommer a wand.

Finally, in gnral, frankly is a good, especially considering the price (as often in this series, see my opinion on the E604).
For young trumpet players who are not as many as I c'st really great plan. In addition we find a lot of opportunity right now.

I am a musician Prom. have a microphone on the instrument with HF has become aware of and almost indispensable in my orchestra.

So I decided to buy the Sennheiser E608 for my trumpet.

practice, and good sound after correction. the only blemishes for me is the power cable. I decided to cut the line as too long for me and that's the road ... but after 1 year, micro stranded! the weld interior (at the bellows just before the cell) loose. I returned in sav. it happens again after 1 year! longer guaranteed, I decided to repair it myself, but successful repair the problem is that the bellows being damaged due to background noise happens. good I toss and decided to predre a new one. 1 year after the same problem at the bellows before the cell! it passes under warranty but after a year like! here I am! my friend has the same problem trombone. (There is also has its 2emem tjs and the same problem) to conclude it's crap! if you are pro, you're doing over 80 dates a year, go your way because it would not fly over a year!

the mimiature is well but is not strong enough and not faithful!
