Built for live performance
The smallest and most durable Ehrlund microphone, engineered to deliver reliable, transparent sound night after night on stage.
Focused sound, even in demanding environments
A slightly narrower cardioid pattern reduces side bleed and keeps the source clear—perfect for drums, percussion, and acoustic instruments.
Punch, clarity, and control
Fast transients, accurate bass, and high SPL handling make the EHR-D a favourite for dynamic, high-energy performances.
Ehrlund EHR-D
Durable excellence, ready for the road
The EHR-D is the smallest, lightest, and most durable of our large-diaphragm condenser microphones. Designed with live performance in mind, it is equally well suited for recording percussion, strings, woodwinds, and a wide range of acoustic instruments—where focus, clarity, and reliability matter most.
Its compact size, robust construction, and built-in coarse dirt filter make the EHR-D a dependable companion for life on the road. Built to endure the realities of touring, it delivers the same transparent and natural sound Ehrlund microphones are known for, night after night.
This mic is the drummers delight! Warm, punchy and lots of attack.
With a pickup pattern that is slightly narrower than a traditional cardioid, the EHR-D offers excellent focus. It captures the intended source clearly while reducing unwanted sound from the sides—helping performances stay clean, even in challenging live environments. Bass frequencies are reproduced accurately, even at some distance, and fast transients are handled with ease.
The EHR-D is made for musicians and engineers who need a microphone that works as hard as they do—without ever getting in the way of the music.
Characteristics & features
- Large-diaphragm condenser microphone
- Patented triangular membrane design
- Internal amplification and power circuitry
- Optimized for live environments and instrument recording
- Transparent and natural sound
- Excellent low-noise performance
