e 865 Professional Condenser Vocal Microphone

The E 865 represents the rst 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–20 kHz reproduction and superb transient response. Its smooth super-cardioid 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 nest sonic nuances, the E 865 is at the same time rugged, bene ting from highquality workmanship and a robust all-metal housing. The microphone ships with a pouch and mic clip.
