Sennheiser e 965 Large True Condenser Vocal Microphone (500881)

A large-diaphragm true condenser for the stage. The e 965 is a large dual-diaphragm true condenser that brings silky high-end detail and warm, defined lower mids to live vocals, with resolution that rivals studio reference mics. A switchable cardioid or supercardioid pattern matches the stage: wider for choirs and presenters, tighter for loud monitors and difficult feedback environments. A switchable low-cut filter tames proximity rumble and a pre-attenuation switch extends max SPL to 152 dB, so it stays clean from whispered ballads to screamed choruses. Hand-assembled in Europe with a precisely tuned elastic suspension and rugged metal housing, it keeps handling noise low and the capsule stable, gig after gig. A standard XLR output runs on P48 phantom power and plugs directly into stage boxes, mixers, and preamps for plug-and-play touring use.
