906
High-quality dynamic microphone with super-cardioid
pick-up pattern, ideal for miking guitar amps, percussion
instruments, snares and toms.
Its laterally mounted capsule has been specially
developed for miking guitars amps face on and and
extremely close to the signal source.
The switchable sound characteristics have been optimally
adapted to the requirements of guitarists.
The super-cardioid pick-up pattern provides good
isolation from other on-stage signals.
Due to its flat design, the 906 is also very suitable for
use with drums, since it can easily be positioned in
cramped space conditions (e.g. below the cymbals).
Features
y Vivid, powerful sound
y Sound can be shaped as needed to fit all styles of
music
y Switchable presence filter
y Humbucking coil protects against electromagnetic
interference
y Shock-mounted capsule
y Extremely rugged for rough stage use
y Gold-plated XLR connector

Adapting the sound characteristics
The 906 microphone features a switchable presence
filter which allows to adapt the sound characteristics to
the different sound requirements and styles.
The filter is adjusted via the slide switch on the
microphone. To move the slide switch to a different
position, use a pointed tool such as a small screwdriver.
The switch has three positions (see also the frequency
response curve):
Boosts the presence range, the mid frequency is
4.2 kHz, e.g. for aggressive metal rhythm guitars.
Normal position, e.g. for classic rock.
Attenuates the presence range, the mid frequency
is 4 kHz, e.g. for warm and smooth jazz and blues
sounds.

Position Resulting sound Commentary
Many trebles,

Good starting
position:
Microphone directed

necessary, turn the
microphone by
approx. 30° towards

Drums
In order to prevent interference due to crosstalk between
adjacent sound sources, try to position the microphone so
that the interfering sound source is located in the angle
area of the highest cancellation of the microphone
(approx. 120°).
Position Resulting sound Commentary
More fundamental
tone,
little overtones
Position on the drum:
3–5 cm above the batter
head, directed towards
the center of the batter
head, the fundamental
tone to overtones ratio
can be adjusted via the
angle. The most balanced
results are obtained at
an angle of 30–60°.
Less fundamental
tone,
many overtones
