The Sennheiser E 865 represents the first condenser microphone in the acclaimed Evolution Series. A live performance, lead vocal microphone, the E 865 easily cuts through high on-stage levels by virtue of its detailed and natural 40 Hz to 20 kHz reproduction and superb transient response.

Its smooth supercardioid polar pattern rejects feedback with low, off-axis coloration. The E 865 withstands sound pressure levels of up to 150 dB, and deftly suppresses pop noise. While it picks up the finest sonic nuances, the E 865 is at the same time rugged, benefiting from high- quality workmanship and a robust all metal housing.

        Comments about Sennheiser E865 - Handheld Condenser Mic:

        I use Sennheiser E865 for more than 5 Years, and never been upset about this microphone. Great thing about it that it has very clear sound, works perfectly for every kind of voice, but i find it the best in having it for Male Vocal. because it picks up low frequencies really good and makes any voice sound very rich.

          Nothing bad to say about this mic. I bought four(4) units for my band vocals and couldn't be happier.
