Sennheiser e 914 Small Diaphragm Cardioid Condenser Microphone

Studio-Grade Fidelity & Transient Speed: Sennheiser e 914

The Sennheiser e 914 is a professional small-diaphragm cardioid condenser instrument microphone engineered for acoustic precision in critical live sound reinforcement and studio recording setups. Whether capturing dynamic cymbal sizzle, delicate acoustic guitar fingerpicking, or full orchestral ensembles, the e 914 delivers a balanced, silky-smooth sound with effortless high-end detail.

As an elite small-diaphragm condenser in our Sennheiser evolution series store, the e 914 features dual onboard 3-position switches for pre-attenuation and bass management. These controls allow sound engineers to optimize gain structure and eliminate low-frequency stage rumble before signal reaches the console.
