Sennheiser e 865-S Condenser Handheld Microphone with On/Off Switch

Professional audio recording and live sound use the Sennheiser e 865-S Vocal Microphone. The “S” in the model name indicates a quiet ON/OFF switch that lets you mute the microphone while not in use. The supercardioid polar pattern of the e 865-S reduces feedback and improves off-axis rejection, making it perfect for loud surroundings and on-stage performances. It accurately reproduces voices and instruments from 40 Hz to 20 kHz. The strong maximum SPL handling of 150 dB and high sensitivity rating of -3 dBV/Pa enable it to record powerful sound sources without distortion.

Smooth, studio-quality sound

When designing the e865-S, engineers at Sennheiser endeavored to bring the sound of the studio onto the stage. Unlike the less-expensive handheld dynamic mics found in most venues, the e865-S boasts a more refined tone with a smooth, consistent top-end and warm, focused lows that flatter both male and female voices. With a rich, never-muddy proximity effect, the e865-S is also an excellent choice for public speaking, live broadcasting, or podcasting.

Designed for the stage

Onstage, the e865-S’s narrow super-cardioid pattern captures what’s right in front of the capsule without picking up background noise, crosstalk, or piercing feedback that might disrupt your performance. The e865-S produces a clear, strong, and detailed signal in noisy conditions.

 

Built tough for rigorous use

The e865-S is a rugged worker despite its elegant appearance. The e865-S’s pleasant weight and robust feel helps increase singers’ confidence to perform at their best. The sound input basket can withstand mic drops and is simply cleaned after the concert.
