As a condenser microphone, it delivers highly detailed and articulate sound reproduction, raising the bar for live vocal clarity. Built to withstand the demands of touring and stage use, it is highly resistant to feedback and will capably handle high sound pressure levels while also effectively suppressing unwanted noise. This "S" version also features a noiseless on/off switch for added control during performances, and the package additionally includes a microphone clamp and a padded pouch for convenient storage and protection.

Transparent, natural, and precise

The rugged Sennheiser e 865 S operates on 12 to 48V phantom power, making it an excellent partner for professional audio systems. Its permanently polarised condenser capsule provides natural and powerful vocal reproduction, along with an extended dynamic range. A subtle frequency boost between 2.5kHz and 10kHz enhances the mid and treble frequencies, adding a clarity and a presence that captures even the most delicate vocal nuances. This blend of precision and detail makes the e 865 S a top-tier option for both vocal and speech applications.

About Sennheiser

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.

Always on the move

The professional e 865 S from Sennheiser is a top-tier condenser microphone, built to withstand the demands of live performances. Its rugged metal housing and reinforced grille offer dependable protection against physical impacts, while its excellent feedback suppression and outstanding resistance to handling noise ensure a clean, interference-free sound. A practical bonus is that the microphone's grille is removable, which makes both cleaning and maintenance significantly easier.

Great MIKE

dezsy92 07.01.2020

I'm ordered three mics, I'm write a small comparing:
- E 865 S - Really much detail, good dynamic, nice EQ resp
- RODE M2 - Good detail, less dynamic
- Senheiser e945 - Nice details, amazing eq resp, great dynamic
- Beta 58 - Less details than the e945 on high freq, boomy at low (I'm using this about 8years)

I know that these mics are mixed dynamic and condenser, so it's a little interesting feedback, but after I did a test recording with my voice, my EXACTLY best of these four, is the Senheiser E945.

All of the michrophones more than enough rough and perfectly assembled. The feedback was also not a problem.

The E945 has the whole advantages from the 3 others.

El mejor micro con cable,que he probado para el directo,un micro con una señal de ruido nula,alta resistencia al acople y puedes tocar delante de la caja que es dificilisimo que acople,una equalizacion plano en mesa ya suena,no recoje apenas el ambiente del resto de instrumentos,cosa que se agradece cuando se toca en grupo,banda grande y hay mucho volumen en escenario!.Tener en cuenta que lleva alimentacion Phanton.Un acabado y estetica bonito y ligero,con interruptor para el muteo y silencioso.
Realmente se lo aconsejo a cualquiera que quiera un micro de por vida y un sonido 10,para cualquier tipo de voz Masculina o Femenina!.
