Sennheiser E 908 B Gooseneck Condenser Microphone for Wind Instruments

Clip-on cardioid condenser with flexible gooseneck for brass and woodwind instruments

The Sennheiser E 908 B is a cardioid condenser microphone with a flexible gooseneck arm and quick-release clip, designed to mount directly onto the bell of brass and woodwind instruments. The gooseneck allows precise positioning of the microphone capsule in front of the instrument bell, capturing a detailed and consistent sound regardless of the musician's movement on stage.

The E 908 B ships with both the MZH 908 B-II quick-release clip for instrument mounting and the MZA 900 P phantom power adapter, which provides 48V phantom power via a battery for situations where console phantom power is not available or when the microphone is used wirelessly. The EW stereo jack output enables direct connection to Sennheiser Evolution Wireless bodypack transmitters for cable-free performance with wireless-equipped brass sections.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the E 908 B and E 908 B-EW?

The E 908 B includes both the MZA 900 P phantom power adapter and the EW stereo jack output, supporting both wired (with phantom adapter) and wireless (with EW bodypack) operation. The E 908 B-EW is the wireless-only version with only the EW connector and no phantom adapter.

Can the E 908 B be used with a standard XLR cable?

Not directly. The E 908 B terminates in an EW stereo jack. For standard XLR connection, use the included MZA 900 P phantom power adapter, which converts the output to XLR and supplies phantom power.

Related Equipment and Workflow Compatibility

The E 908 B connects to Sennheiser EW G3/G4 bodypack transmitters via the stereo jack, or to standard XLR using the included MZA 900 P adapter. For wireless-only use without the phantom adapter, see the E 908 B-EW.
