Avis sur le produitSennheiser E935 Dynamic Cable Professional Microphone

I love this microphone.

I am a busy sound guy and regularly performing male-vocalist. I have used a lot of microphones. This one definitely has its place in your mic box.
- - -
Why did I buy this microphone? It was next on my list to try. I have tried Shure SM and Beta 58 mics, Audix OM5 and OM7... which leads me to the next question:
- - -
What do I like/dislike about the microphone? First of all, I like all microphones. I like them like my girlfriend likes shoes and my other guitar-playing buddies like stomp boxes. I have a substantial mic kit from really cheap microphones to moderately expensive microphones. But, as a singer, I like the clean presence and pickup pattern this mic offers. It is the mic I use personally on stage as a vocalist. As a sound guy, I like quality, sound and that this mic fills tech riders.
- - -
So how does it compare to others I've tried? Some vocal microphones can start to sound "harsh" at higher volumes in a mix. (especially the cheaper ones) This mic has a presence bump that leaves out the harsher frequencies but is still clear. "Consonants" in lyrics still come through in a loud setting. The amount of proximity effect is natural and predictable.
- - -
One of my other favorites is the Audix OM5, but many singers can't get used to the very tight pickup pattern. I'd still prefer the OM5 on loud stages (as a sound guy) but as a singer, I like the presence and pickup pattern of the e935. Shure SM58? Well, it is a standard, but takes a lot of channel strip tweaking to sound un-harsh at higher levels and tends to pick up too much stage sound for me.
- - -
Let's put it this way: Without telling anybody that I used this microphone instead of my trusty Audix OM5 at my last performance, 4 people (all sound guys) mentioned how clear my vocals sounded without any EQ tweaking on the channel strip. They all wanted to know which mic I was using.
- - -
Two final things:
1. I haven't tried this mic on female vocals yet. Could be great, could be just OK. I have no experience with that yet. Every attentive sound guy is either looking for or has found their favorite female vocal microphone.

2. If you're really wondering about vocal mics, check out Dave Rat's microphone trial video on YouTube--the one where he uses iPod ear buds and pink noise on the microphones. The guy's a genius.Lire l'avis complet...

One of the best microphones I've heard in my life. And I've heard a lot!

I bought three of these microphones to boost my sound system up; I had been working with sound for a while and always appreciated fine equipaments (also studied them). Already familiar with the great Sennheiser e835, figured, as I had some money, I'd try to take it to the next Sennheiser level and get the e935, which is suppose to have better timbre, better feedback rejection and hotter output.

Well, it actually achieves every single aspect it's put out for. The warmth and natural sounding of this mic is somewhat unpickable. It has quite nice gain and it really cuts through any mix. It's actually quite hard to make these mics feedback or sound bad. I really can't compare it to any other US$200-less piece, as I guess the next level for live sound voice microphone would be the outstanding Neumann KMS-105, which ranks in the US$700 bill. Understanding that it is the most common and reasonable to compare any mic to a Shure, I'll give my opinion: forget, of course, the 'eld' Sm58; I've heard the Beta 87a once being used by a Chicago jazz singer and it sounded quite nice, but it's more expensive and the e935 wouldn't sound nowhere near "average" side-by-side to the Beta – it would really continue to sound great.

Way to go, Sennheiser. Keep up! I'm a fan.Lire l'avis complet...

Phenomenal Mic

This mic is amazing for low range to deep voices. It gives you more clarity and shine through the mix. I’ve been using Shure Sm58 for a while now and sennheiser 835 for a long time. They don’t do too well with my voice even though they are great mics. Those mics do great with altos and some tenors. This mic is perfect for tenors. I feel it’s more balanced for everyone. If your an alto or saprano or if you do a lot of jazz or r&b get the sennheiser 945. I tried a lot of mics but I decided on this one because it felt more for my voice then the others. The 945 made me sound more clear but I lost bass. I didn’t like it for my voice. Lire l'avis complet...

Best Mic I have found under $200

As a solo Irish balladeer, my music varies from tender love songs to boisterous beer drinking and Rebel songs. The Sennheiser e935 handles them all without distortion with clean, clear power. it has excellent rejection in loud venues (maybe not as good as e945, but has never been a big issue). I have to say it cuts through and an makes my sometimes nasally voice sound smoother and more pleasant. Not that it colors the sound, but reproduces without harshness. I would buy more just to have as spares but my original has never failed me in 10-plus years. Couldn't pass up this deal to have a spare though. Get one you won't be sorry.Lire l'avis complet...

Sennheiser E935

I am a six string acoustic guitar playing singer/songwriter performing by myself and in tandem with another artist on a 12 string acoustic. This mic has proven to express a very warm tone and great clarity on vocals. Also excellent acoustic guitar mic. Had a problem with vocal feedback at higher levels in living room studio from monitor setup. Moved monitors from direct front to adjacent position and feedback lessened. Used as vocal mic at local venue with monitors close and had no problem. Love this mic ! Have used OM2 ( too thin), SM57 and 58 (lacked fullness and clarity compared to 935), Shure 87A ( great mic too... ) Am loving the 935 on vocals and 87A on acoustic ( I use an ART tube amp with phantom power switch for the 87A). My voice is on the bass side of the freqs and the 935 gives it its natural resonance. Very pleased.Lire l'avis complet...

Great mic and price was right.

Excellent mic and I prefer it to the Shure SM58, which I have used for many years. Was worried a bit that it might be more delicate than the SM58, but heft is about the same, it too is all metal barrel and windscreen. And, it looks good too.

Although this is a factory refurbish, it looks new and was packaged as if it was brand new. It also came with the factory warranty on it. I went online to register it for warranty coverage and that was no problem.

Most importantly though, I sound good through it! Very pleased with this purchase.Lire l'avis complet...

Great mic, if you don't need an on/off switch

Phenomenal mic, great quality, only thing I would caution is that this mic does not have an on/off switch. Still works great and even though it's always "hot", have had not feedback issues, etc. In fact, I've forgot to turn my PA off at home and left it on for hours because it is so quiet. No regrets.Lire l'avis complet...

Just perfect

Great mic outstanding sound and a great weight to work with in your hand all day. I am a Auctioneer and found it preform at a five star rating. Easy for our sound man to sail it in and I love the weight for working all day. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Sell was great shipping fast and mic as it was it was posted as. Great dealLire l'avis complet...

Good microphone all around

The mic I got was in fair condition and works great for my practice sessions. I haven't tried it live yet, but the sound quality and range are definitely what I was looking for. Really, it looks well used, which gives me confidence I can continue to use it without worry from it falling apart after a couple years.Lire l'avis complet...

Very impressive!

Great natural sounding mic. Seems to have a very balanced sound from lows to highs. Resistant to feedback. The sound is on par with my Shure Beta 58, It's a toss up! That being said, One must try different microphones to fit their personal taste. The Sennheiser e935 is a great all around mic.Lire l'avis complet...
