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.
