Sennheiser’s Microphones will Bring an Unrivalled Sound Experience
At the IGNITE! Music Festival, an array of Sennheiser microphones strategically serve different purposes to capture the broad spectrum of live performances. Here is how the lineup works:
Drum Microphones
The e 614 is a small-diaphragm condenser microphones designed to handle high sound pressure levels. With their wide frequency response, they provide exceptional detail and transparency, perfect for recording high-frequency percussion elements like cymbals.
The e 901 is a boundary microphone designed specifically for capturing kick drums. Given its placement directly in the kick drum’s sound hole, it is engineered to absorb the robust power and low frequencies of each bass hit. With its “half-cardioid” pickup pattern, the e 901 rejects unwanted off-axis sound, allowing the kick drum to punch through the mix cleanly and powerfully.
The e 902 distinguishes itself with its ability to handle extremely high sound pressure levels, making it ideal for kick drums and bass guitars. Known for revealing the precise tonal character of these instruments, the e 902 emphasises the richness and depth crucial for a dynamic and rhythmic backbone in any performance.
The e 904 is a dynamic cardioid microphone specifically tuned for drums and percussions. It excels at reproducing the high sound pressure levels and mid-range frequencies of toms and snares, delivering a well-rounded, natural sound. Its compact design and included drum mount facilitate ideal positioning, allowing the true tone of the drum to shine through in the mix.
Instrument Microphones
The e 906 is a dynamic microphone often positioned on guitar cabinets during live performances and studio recordings. It is designed to capture the full spectrum of electric guitar sounds, from the natural resonance of clean tones to the punchy overdrive of distortion.
The MD 441 is one of the most versatile microphones from Sennheiser. It can handle a variety of different instrument sounds, making it a preferable choice for multi-instrumental performances, various recording situations, irrespective of the instrument genre.
Vocal Microphones
The e945 is a professional-grade dynamic microphone from Sennheiser, designed specifically for vocal reproduction. Its super-cardioid pattern isolates vocals to ensure clarity even in lively performances. This makes the e 945 a top choice for lead singers.
Recording and Ambient Microphones
MKH 8020 and MKH 8040: The MKH 8020, an omni-directional condenser microphone, expertly captures ambient noise, creating a holistic audio backdrop. Meanwhile, the cardioid MKH 8040 focuses on isolating individual instruments or vocals, ensuring precision even in a live setting. Collectively, they help craft a ‘being there’ listening experience, balancing the concert’s broad ambience with specific sound details.
Wireless Audio Transmission System
EW-D and EW-DX: The transmission of the audio captured is as crucial as the quality of sound picked up. This is where the EW-D and EW-DX Links play a pivotal role. Responsible for wirelessly transferring high-quality audio signals from the various microphones to the sound receiver and PA system, they ensure a reliable, seamless, and high-fidelity representation of the music performance.
Jointly, these components from Sennheiser ensure that every sound, from the powerful thumping of the drums, the resonant strum of guitars, to the vocal nuances of the artists, is authentically reproduced.
