Sennheiser e 965 Handheld Condenser Microphone

The Sennheiser e965 Large-Diaphragm Handheld Condenser Microphone is a premium vocal microphone designed for live performance and professional stage use, delivering studio-grade detail in a handheld format. It features a 1-inch dual-diaphragm capsule that allows you to switch between cardioid and supercardioid polar patterns, giving you flexibility to match different stage environments and vocal styles.

The supercardioid mode provides tight directionality for improved isolation and strong resistance to acoustic feedback, making it particularly effective in loud live settings. With a wide frequency response of 40 Hz to 20 kHz, the e965 captures vocals with clarity, presence, and natural detail suitable for professional performances.

To handle high sound pressure levels, the microphone includes a switchable -10 dB pad, allowing it to withstand up to 152 dB SPL without distortion. A built-in low-cut filter helps reduce unwanted rumble, wind noise, and handling noise, while the integrated capsule shockmount further enhances clarity by isolating mechanical vibrations.

Designed for demanding stage conditions, the e965 offers excellent moisture resistance and requires phantom power for operation. It includes a microphone clip and carrying pouch, making it a reliable and versatile choice for vocalists, presenters, and touring professionals.
