This small-diaphragm condenser captures detailed transient response and extended high-frequency detail across a 20 Hz to 20 kHz range. With switchable pre-attenuation and a bass roll-off filter, the e 914 condenser instrument microphone adapts to high-SPL sources and proximity effect. It connects via 3-pin XLR-M and runs on P48 phantom power for integration into standard balanced audio systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe e 914 is a pre-polarised condenser microphone built for accurate instrument capture in live sound and recording environments. Its cardioid pick-up pattern rejects off-axis sound to control bleed and feedback when miking acoustic guitar, drum overheads, cymbals, piano, and percussion. \u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/7982\/4364\/files\/Zz04YThhMjQyMGU3YWUxMWYwODhkYjc2OGVlOGU5N2FlYQ.png?v=1780784474\" alt=\"Sennheiser e 914 cardioid condenser instrument microphone with pre-attenuation and bass roll-off switches\"\u003e A three-position pre-attenuation switch (0, -10, -20 dB) raises the maximum SPL handling to as high as 157 dB SPL, letting the microphone sit close to loud sources without overloading. The switchable bass filter offers a 130 Hz roll-off and an 85 Hz cut-off to manage low-end buildup and proximity effect. The capsule delivers 7 mV\/Pa sensitivity with a low 24 dB(A) equivalent noise level for clean, quiet captures. A 100 ohm nominal impedance and 3-pin XLR-M connector integrate the microphone into any P48 phantom-powered console or interface. The microphone weighs 198 g and ships with an MZQ 800 clip, an MZW 64 windscreen, and a carrying pouch.
