Sennheiser e 604 Cardioid Instrument Microphone with Stand and Cable Kit

The Sennheiser e 604 Cardioid Instrument Microphone Kit from B&H is a complete solution for miking drums, brass, and woodwind instruments in both studio and live environments. Whether you're recording in the studio or performing on stage, this bundle delivers reliable, distortion-free performance, even at extremely high sound pressure levels.

At the heart of the kit is the Sennheiser e 604, a compact dynamic microphone known for its clarity, durability, and focused cardioid pickup pattern. Designed specifically for capturing drums and other high-SPL instruments, the e 604 handles over 160 dB without breaking a sweat. Its frequency response from 40 Hz to 18 kHz ensures detailed reproduction of everything from snappy snares to full-bodied toms and brass instruments.

Modeled after the legendary MD 421, the e 604 offers many of the same sonic qualities but in a much smaller, more stage-friendly form. Its humbucking coil minimizes electromagnetic interference, while the integrated stand mount and included drum clip allow for flexible placement on a variety of instruments. The built-in presence boost between 4 and 5 kHz helps your instrument cut through dense mixes without sounding harsh.

This microphone comes with a protective pouch, drum clip, and cable guide, offering added convenience for setup, transport, and cable management. The rugged fiberglass-reinforced housing makes it tough enough for the road, while its low handling noise makes it a smart choice for close-miking in the studio.

To support a wide range of setups, the kit includes the Auray MS-5340 mic stand with boom, which is ideal for positioning mics in front of kick drums or guitar amps. Its telescoping shaft and 19.5-inch adjustable boom offer precision placement, while the heavy-duty steel construction and weighted square base keep the stand stable, even on loud stages. Rubber feet prevent unwanted vibrations, and the compact design allows for close positioning in tight spaces.

Also included is the Kopul Premium Performance 3000 Series XLR cable, a 20-foot professional microphone cable designed for high-end performance. It features 24-AWG oxygen-free copper wiring, dual-spiral shielding for protection against EMI and RFI, and Neutrik XX series connectors for superior signal integrity. This cable is engineered for quiet operation, even in complex or high-interference setups, making it perfect for live sound or studio recording.

Whether you're tracking a drum kit, recording brass sections, or mic'ing a guitar amp, this kit offers pro-level audio quality, flexible setup options, and the durability to handle years of use. It’s a smart investment for musicians, engineers, and producers who want consistent results without compromise.
