Sennheiser E865 Overview

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.

Sennheiser E865 Reviews

A high quality mic.

Ive used this mic for a few interviews now and Im delighted with the results. The tone is lovely and warm with great results for a deeper voice like mine. The quality is impressive with no sound transfer from the shaft whatsoever.

WOW!

I am a jazz vocalist and I LOVE this mic!!! The tone is gorgeous and warm and I am able to almost whisper and get beautiful pick up of my voice. The best mic I've ever owned.
