The Sennheiser E 835S is a handheld cardioid dynamic microphone offering a frequency response tailored for clear reproduction of vocals and speech in concert venues, lectures, houses of worship, and presentations. Its dynamic element requires no power source and delivers a frequency response of 40 Hz to 16 kHz. The cardioid polar pattern rejects sound behind the mic, yielding enhanced immunity to feedback and decreased pickup of room ambience. A hum-compensating coil aids in keeping extraneous electrical noise to a minimum while the durable, metal construction delivers tour-worthy toughness. A silent on/off switch is provided for convenient muting of the mic between speeches or performances. The XLR 3-pin output ensures compatibility with most microphone preamps and mixer inputs. The e835S ships with a mic clip and a protective pouch.
