Sennheiser
e 914
Small-diaphragm condenser · Cardioid · 20–20,000 Hz
- The studio-grade pencil of the evolution range: 20 Hz to 20 kHz, 19 dB(A) noise and 7.0 mV/Pa out.
- Three-position pad and three-position low-cut on the barrel, so an overhead can be set up without a channel strip.
Frequency response
No response curve yet.
MicSense only draws a curve traced from a graph the manufacturer actually publishes — it never estimates one from the microphone’s class. Sennheiser publishes figures for the e 914 but no response graph, so the numbers are in the spec table below and the chart stays empty.
Polar pattern
Generated from the first-order directivity formula for cardioid. It illustrates the pattern type — it is not a measurement of this individual model.

MicSense tags microphones by the job on a live stage, not by studio category — so you can filter for “kick in” or “monitor vocal” instead of working backwards from “large-diaphragm condenser”.
Compare it against the alternatives.
MicSense lets you put up to four microphones side by side — spec table, overlaid response curves and polar diagrams on one screen. Free with a free Squaresmile account.
