Sennheiser e 835 Cardioid Dynamic Vocal Microphone

The Sennheiser e 835 is a dependable handheld vocal microphone made to withstand the rigors of live performance. As an onstage workhorse, careful consideration has gone into producing a rugged, durable cardioid dynamic microphone that offers consistent sound quality in virtually any environment. This robust dynamic mic can take the heat from even the rowdiest performer and still show up to work the following night. Plus, it’s backed by an industry-leading 10-year warranty from Sennheiser. In terms of performance, the e 835’s key characteristics include minimal proximity effect, substantial feedback rejection and extreme SPL tolerance. The e 835 may dominate the stage, but it’s just as at home in the recording studio, capable of a wide range of applications wherever sonic integrity is required.

Cardioid Pickup Pattern Minimizes Bleed, Rejects Feedback

Of the many challenges associated with live sound reinforcement, microphone bleed and feedback are near the top of the list. Thankfully, the cardioid pickup pattern found in the Sennheiser e 835 amplifies only what’s directly in front of it, limiting the amount of stage volume that tends to creep into the mic. Another distinctive trait of the e 835 is its innate ability to reject feedback. Due in part to its cardioid pickup pattern and its top-of-the-line SPL handling, feedback is rarely an issue to contend with when Sennheiser e 835s are used on stage.   

Reliable Sound

Serious design savvy went into building the Sennheiser e 835 as a microphone that can excel in every situation. With the average cardioid pickup pattern, there’s generally a loss of fidelity from off-axis input—i.e., sound entering the sides of the mic. Sennheiser brilliantly engineered a more uniform cardioid capsule that retains its frequency response regardless of how a vocalist may be holding the e 835. We have performers who cup the mic, those who like to rock and a whole lot more unpredictability. The e 835 compensates for performer movement and mic technique, keeping the sound quality consistent across the board. The ingenious capsule also minimizes proximity effect for low-end control, and it offers a slight presence boost to help singers and instrumentalists cut through dense mixes with ease.
