Sennheiser 3-Pack E 604 Instrument Microphone Set

Three-pack cardioid dynamic instrument microphones with clips and carrying pouches

The Sennheiser 3-Pack E 604 Instrument Microphone Set includes three E 604 cardioid dynamic microphones, three MZH 604 drum rim clips, and three carrying pouches. The E 604 is a compact instrument microphone designed for close-miking drums, percussion, brass, and woodwinds in both live and studio environments. Its cardioid polar pattern provides focused pickup with effective rejection of off-axis sound from neighboring instruments.

The included MZH 604 clips attach directly to drum rims and hardware without a separate mic stand, keeping the stage cleaner and setup faster. The compact capsule design fits into tight positions between drums and cymbals where full-size microphones would not fit, making the E 604 a go-to choice for toms, snare, and brass instruments in professional audio workflows.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the E 604 be used on a standard mic stand?

Yes. While the included MZH 604 clips are designed for drum rim mounting, the E 604 also has a standard thread mount and can be used with any compatible mic clip on a standard stand.

Is the E 604 suitable for kick drum?

The E 604 is optimized for toms, snare, and brass instruments. For kick drum, Sennheiser offers dedicated models like the E 602-II, which is designed for the low-frequency response and SPL handling that kick drum applications require.

The E 604 works with any mixer, preamp, or audio interface with standard XLR microphone inputs. It is commonly deployed alongside Sennheiser E 602-II kick drum microphones and E 614 overhead condensers to build a complete drum miking package.
