Sennheiser E 865 Super Cardioid Condenser Vocal Microphone

Condenser Clarity for the Live Stage

The Sennheiser E 865 brings studio-grade condenser performance to the live environment. Its super cardioid polar pattern delivers exceptional feedback rejection and off-axis isolation, while the extended frequency response captures the full nuance and air of a vocalist's performance — detail that dynamic mics simply can't match. Whether you're a touring vocalist, a session singer, or a performer who refuses to compromise on tone, the E 865 is built for you.
