Specially developed to always give the vocals enough room under loud stage conditions and position it cleanly out of the mix.
The Sennheiser E 935 is a versatile, dynamic vocal microphone renowned worldwide for its natural renditions and versatility across a wide range of musical genres. Its extended frequency response and finely tuned voicing deliver a balanced sound signature, easily cutting through the mix with well-defined lows, a present midrange, and crisp, articulate highs. Unlike many vocal microphones in its class, the E 935 avoids harshness or sibilance, making it a reliable choice for both studio and live applications. The cardioid polar pattern provides a wider pickup angle compared to the supercardioid E 945, offering greater flexibility for vocalists who move on stage. Encased in a durable and matte black metal housing, the E 935 is built to withstand the rigours of touring, while its lightweight design ensures comfort during extended use. A microphone clip is included for secure mounting.
The E 935 excels at capturing the full range of the human voice, and its wide 40Hz to 18kHz frequency response is exceptionally linear and smooth. Its cardioid polar pattern ensures excellent off-axis rejection, minimising background noise and feedback, while the humbucking coil reduces electromagnetic interference. The shock-resistant capsule effectively dampens handling noise and vibrations, making it ideal for high-energy performances. With a sensitivity of 2.8mV/Pa at 1kHz, the E 935 delivers a strong, clear signal without requiring phantom power. The XLR output ensures seamless integration with any mixing console, while the compact design (151mm long, 47mm in diameter) and robust construction make it a dependable tool for demanding live environments.
The E 935 is as user-friendly as it is technically advanced, making it an excellent choice for both beginners and professionals. Its natural frequency response requires minimal EQ adjustments, allowing sound engineers to achieve a polished mix quickly. The microphone's resistance to handling noise and feedback ensures consistent performance, even in challenging acoustic environments. The absence of an on/off switch eliminates the risk of accidental disengagement, while the durable metal construction ensures longevity in high-use scenarios such as clubs or rental setups. Additionally, the E 935's bright high-end response makes it suitable for capturing percussion instruments, further expanding its versatility.
In June 1945, Prof. Fritz Sennheiser founded the Wennebostel Laboratory, which initially produced measuring equipment. Commissioned by Siemens in 1945, the young company developed the MD-1 microphone, which was launched in 1946. After the development of further microphones, the company was renamed Sennheiser Electronic in 1958. Two years later, Sennheiser introduced the MD 421 dynamic microphone, which is still in production today and still held in high esteem by many sound engineers. Further groundbreaking developments, such as the HD 414 headphones and the classic MD 441 microphone, hugely enhanced the company's international reputation, eventually making Sennheiser one of the leading manufacturers of microphone and headphone systems in the world.
The E 935 can be tailored to meet the needs of any performance setup. For multi-microphone configurations, the Sennheiser MZQ 800 microphone clip provides a secure and convenient mounting solution. The MZW4032ANT windshields, featuring a colour-coded identification system, are ideal for setups with multiple vocalists, allowing each performer to easily identify their microphone. For added hygiene and durability, replaceable grilles are available, enabling quick and easy swaps between performers. These accessories ensure that the E 935 remains a versatile and reliable tool for any live sound application.
