Sennheiser E908b

A version designed for brass instrument sound capture

The Sennheiser e 908 is a condenser microphone offered in two variants: e 908 B and e 908 D. The e 908 B version is specifically recommended for brass instruments and aims for a sound that is both clear and expressive, with a "lively" character that respects the natural dynamics of the instrument. Designed for practical everyday use, it comes with a mounting system and a power adapter that facilitate installation, control, and reliability in real-world situations.

For which musicians and situations?

The e 908 B is intended for instrumentalists seeking a close, clean, and controlled sound capture on stage as well as in rehearsals: trumpeters, trombonists, saxophonists, and more broadly, brass section musicians in orchestras, brass bands, big bands, or modern ensembles. Its philosophy is simple: to enable you to achieve precise sound without multiplying adjustments, while maintaining freedom of play and stable positioning as close as possible to the sound source.

Thanks to its dedicated mount and flexible arm, the microphone can be positioned to capture the best balance between projection, presence, and level control. This is particularly useful in noisy environments, on compact stages, or when you want to limit unwanted bleed while maintaining consistent capture from one piece to another.

Designed for quick setup, optimal placement, and reliability

Flexible setup with dedicated clip

The e 908 B comes with a specific brass instrument clip and a long, flexible arm that help position the capsule optimally relative to the instrument. The goal is to save time during setup while retaining the ability to fine-tune the angle and distance according to your playing style, instrument, and context (soloist, section, light or stronger amplification).

Shock absorption: less handling noise

On stage, micro noises caused by movements, handling, or accidental contacts can quickly interfere with the mix. The e 908 B integrates an effective shock absorption system designed to eliminate handling noise. The result: a cleaner signal, easier to process, and better consistency when you move or slightly adjust your placement.

MZA 900 P adapter: quick control via multifunction LED

The microphone includes an intelligent MZA 900 P phantom power adapter. Its multifunction LED provides real convenience in use by allowing you to check the cable, phantom power, and level. This type of visual control helps secure soundchecks and quickly diagnose connection or power issues without unnecessarily interrupting the session.

Optional compatibility with the evolution wireless range

For wireless setups, the e 908 B can also be used, optionally, with pocket transmitters from the evolution wireless range. This is a relevant solution if you want to reduce stage clutter, streamline stage changes, or gain freedom of movement while maintaining close miking adapted to brass instruments.
