The Sennheiser e 908 D is a miniature condenser instrument microphone specifically optimized for use with drums and percussion. The cardioid capsule captures audio in vivid detail and clarity while exhibiting excellent rejection of off-axis noise and feedback. The e 908 D handles high sound pressure levels without peak distortion, enabling close proximity placement without noise.

The miniature capsule remains out of sight during performances and the flexible gooseneck allows for easy positioning. The mounting clamp features dampening materials to eliminate extraneous vibration, impact, and handling noise. The e 908 D features a locking miniature 3.5mm connector for use with EW series beltpack transmitters; however, the MZA 900 P cylindrical preamplifier is included and terminates to a standard 3-pin XLR connection, for direct connection to PA systems, consoles, and recording devices.
