Optimized for singers and speakers in houses of worship and concert venues, this B&H Kit includes the black Sennheiser e 965 handheld microphone, a mic stand with a telescoping boom, a balanced XLR mic cable, a carrying case, and a foam windscreen.
The e 965 condenser mic requires phantom power to operate and is well suited to live applications with its 1" dual-diaphragm capsule that's able to handle source audio up to 152 dB. In addition, the mic's selection of polar patterns lets you choose between a tight supercardioid pattern to help tame feedback problems or a relatively more forgiving cardioid pattern when desired.
The Sennheiser e965 is large-diaphragm, handheld condenser microphone designed for vocal applications. It offers a 1" dual-diaphragm capsule that can give you both cardioid and supercardioid polar patterns. The highly directional nature of the supercardioid pattern is an effective deterrent against acoustic feedback onstage. The mic also offers a high-pass filter to eliminate rumble and a switchable -10 dB pad. With the pad engaged, the mic can handle a startling 152 dB SPL, which is truly loud. It captures frequencies between 40 Hz and 20 kHz. The mic, which requires phantom power to operate, includes a carrying pouch and a mic clip.
- Switchable pickup pattern (cardioid / supercardioid)
- Low-cut switch, which reduces ambient noise, rumble, and wind noise
- Switchable pre-attenuation (-10 dB) accommodates singers with powerful voices
- Capsule shockmount efficiently rejects handling noise for superbly clear sound
- Excellent protection against moisture
- Frequency response of 40 Hz to 20 kHz
The Auray MS-5230T Tripod Microphone Stand with Telescoping Boom features durable, steel construction. The telescoping boom arm is adjustable from 19.3 to 33.9" in length, allowing you to angle and extend the mic placement however you need it. An ergonomic twist-action clutch helps adjust the height of the stand, while the reinforced tripod base and nonslip feet keep it firmly in place. The Auray MS-5230T mic stand collapses for easy transport.
The black Kopul Premium Performance 3000 Series XLR Male to XLR Female Microphone Cable (20') is designed to be an extremely quiet and flexible cable that is ideal for the most demanding live sound and performance applications. The cable is engineered to be durable and provide protection against EMI, RFI, and static noise. While the cable's color-coding affords the ability to quickly differentiate between multiple connections onstage, it provides a pleasant aesthetic quality at the same time.
Premium Performance 3000 Series cables are made from 24-AWG OFC copper wire that's wrapped with PE insulation and a conductive PVC inner shield. A cotton-yarn inner layer helps reduce electrostatic and microphonic noise. The 95% dual-spiral shielding makes the cable resistant to EMI and RFI noise. The Neutrik XX silver connectors provide a high level of connectivity, and all the solder connections are shrink-wrapped for protection.
The WMC-500 Wide-Mouth EVA Case from Auray is a rugged case designed to protect microphones, electronic devices, and accessories from impact, dust, and moisture. It can be used on the go by videographers, musicians, or podcasters and provides quick access to your equipment via a wide-mouth zippered opening.
The case is made of ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA), and its length is long enough to accommodate a long-handled interview microphone, GoPro, point-and-shoot camera, mic flag, mic clip, or shockmount. Featuring a generous layer of foam padding for protection, the case is made with an interior faux-fur lining to help prevent scratches to the finish of a microphone, and an additional interior storage pouch keeps accessories secure and organized.
The black Auray WHF Series Foam Windscreens are designed to reduce unwanted broadband wind noise and vocal pops with minimal high frequency loss.
This WHF-158 Foam Windscreen is designed for use with many common handheld microphones with a 1-5/8" diameter head. The density of the specialty acoustic foam is optimized to help protect the microphone element from air bursts without muffling the sound.
When used on a handheld microphone, this windscreen is effective in minimizing wind noise and plosive sounds. It is most effective in calm to light breeze conditions (0 to 7 mph) and can be used indoors for protection against drafts caused by air-conditioners. Users can generally expect a 4 to 8 dB reduction in wind noise with very slight dampening of high frequencies. For most applications, the very slight high-frequency dampening is a worthwhile exchange for the notable wind noise reduction.
The WHF-158's foam is hypoallergenic and washable and helps prevent moisture and dirt from damaging your microphone. The windscreen is designed to fit microphones from Shure, Electro-Voice, AKG, Audio-Technica, Audix, Beyerdynamic, Sennheiser, Neumann and others.
The WHF-158 Foam Windscreen for 1-5/8" Diameter Microphones is an effective solution for basic wind protection.
