The e 965 is Sennheiser's first large-diaphragm, true condenser handheld microphone. The innovative 1" dual-diaphragm capsule means you can access both cardioid and super-cardioid polar patterns with the flip of a switch.

Ideal for every vocal application, the e 965 truly combines the sensitivity of a world-class studio condenser with the ruggedness Sennheiser customers demand from an evolution stage microphone. The e 965 is able to cut through high onstage levels and is the top model of the award-winning evolution 900 Series.

    I used it in rehearsal a few times and then it started making a noise that sounds like ocean surf, just bad. I never even got to a show with it. Then it just went dead, nothing. My sound man and I have never experienced a new mic doing such a thing; it's head-scratching. When it worked right it sounded nice, very nice. I have returned it and hope to have it replaced, that it's just a freak thing.

  • Incredible Mic

    Incredible mic. The best I have had. I had been using an SM SHURE 58. This mic blows the SM58 away!!! Clear sound. Pics up low lows and high highs from a distance. I had to have the Sm58 right on my lips when I sang. This mic is superb. Highly recommended!!! Worth the price!!!

  • Excellent live vocal mic.

    This is my second 965 and I am very pleased. Great mic, easy to EQ. I use this with Bose F1 812, Qsc and L1 model 2 systems. Vocals are exceptional, no feedback issues and pro class performance.

  • Excellent addition for live performances.
