Sennheiser e835
Overview
The Sennheiser e835 is a dynamic cardioid microphone designed for live vocal performance, offering a clear and detailed sound that distinguishes it from many competitors in the affordable handheld mic category. It features a uniform cardioid pickup pattern that provides excellent feedback rejection, allowing vocalists to push monitor levels without encountering problems. The frequency response is smooth and naturally voiced with a gentle presence rise that adds intelligibility without harshness, giving vocals a polished, broadcast-like quality even on a loud stage. The e835 handles high SPL levels without distortion, and its consistent on-axis and off-axis response means the sound remains balanced even as the performer moves around the microphone. The capsule is mounted on a rubber element that effectively absorbs handling noise, and the rugged metal body with a corrosion-resistant finish is built to withstand years of touring. The hum-compensating coil eliminates electromagnetic interference from stage lighting and other sources. This microphone is an excellent choice for live vocalists at any experience level who want a clean, natural sound that requires minimal EQ adjustment at the mixing board. The e835 has a slightly lower output than some stage microphones, which may require a bit more gain from the preamp or mixer channel.
