Description
The Sennheiser e 606 is a dynamic super cardioid microphone designed mainly for close-making guitar amplifier cabinets.
It is a popular alternative to the classic SM57-style amplifier mic, with a flatter, smoother character and a convenient flat body that can hang in front of a speaker grille.
