Sennheiser e 614 Supercardioid condenser mic

The Sennheiser e 614 is a supercardioid electret condenser mic for high-SPL instruments (woodwinds, strings, percussion). With 40–20 kHz flat response, fast transients, and compact design, it excels in overhead, close-miking, and home recording while minimizing bleed.

The Sennheiser e 614 is a professional supercardioid electret condenser microphone engineered for critical instrument capture in live and studio settings. Its extended 40–20,000 Hz frequency response and nearly flat curve preserve every nuance—from the shimmer of cymbals to the attack of mallets—while high SPL handling (>139 dB) and fast transient response ensure distortion-free clarity under intense dynamics. The tight supercardioid pattern and medium sensitivity reduce bleed, making it ideal for drum overheads, percussion arrays, woodwinds, and strings, even in dense mixes or tight stage setups. Compact (Ø 20 mm x 100 mm) and lightweight, it fits discreetly into any rig. Perfect for home recording, the e 614 delivers studio-grade accuracy with phantom-powered reliability and XLR connectivity.
