Detail 01
Supercardioid pattern
Tighter pickup than cardioid, so less bleed from drums and other amps on a loud stage.

Sennheisere 609 Silver Dynamic Guitar Microphone

1/8
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Dynamic supercardioid mic that clips over a guitar cab grille to catch speaker output. For guitarists miking amps live or in a small room.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Miking a guitar cab where stage space is tight
- Live rigs where the mic must survive nightly setup
- Recording amps without a mic stand in front
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Vocals — the voicing is built for speaker cones
- Acoustic instruments needing air above 15kHz
- Anyone wanting a mic that swings to another source mid-set
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Dynamic capsule, no phantom power
Runs off any XLR input. No 48V, no battery, nothing to switch on before soundcheck.
Detail 03
40Hz–15kHz response
Rolls off up top, which matches a guitar speaker — cabs stop producing useful content around there anyway.
Detail 04
Flat 2 in. body, 5.2 in. long
Hangs flat against the grille cloth by its own cable, so no boom stand in front of the cab.
Detail 05
4.9 oz weight
Light enough to drape over a cab handle or lip without pulling the mic out of position.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01No XLR cable included — you supply it, and it holds the mic up
- 02No clip and no stand mount in the box
- 03Position on the grille changes tone a lot; move it in inches
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01How do I mount this on a guitar cab?
You drape it. The XLR cable goes over the top of the cab and the flat body hangs against the grille. Slide it toward the cone center for more bite, off-center for warmth.
02Does it need phantom power?
No. It's a dynamic mic and works with any standard XLR input on a mixer or interface.
03Can I use it on a snare or vocals?
It's voiced for guitar speakers, with response ending at 15kHz. Vocals and cymbal-adjacent sources will sound dull compared with a mic built for them.
04Does it come with a cable or stand?
Neither. A case is included, but the XLR cable and any stand hardware are separate purchases.
