MICROPHONE CAPSULES A comprehensive look at some of the leading microphone manufacturers latest products.
SENNHEISER Part of the e 900 series, Sennheiser’s e 935 microphone is among the audio specialist’s most popular vocal microphones. Its capsule, the MMD 935, can be paired with wireless systems from the Digital 9000 Series through to evolution wireless. It is designed for demanding, uncompromising professional use by musicians and singers alike. This dynamic cardioid vocal microphone offers a smooth, natural sound with a fast-transient response, ensuring no details are missed. It also benefits from a shock-resistant capsule mounting and hum compensating coil, which result in low handling noise, and its 100% metal casing makes it perfect for tough on-stage use. The balanced frequency range makes the e 935 ideal for every genre of music. It gives the voice more space and positions it cleanly in front of loud instruments. With a transparent high-end and warm but well defined lower mids, it lends even gentle voices an impressive intensity and size, allowing the vocal track in the band mix to be emphasised much more easily. The e 935 also increases speech intelligibility. It remains extremely resistant to feedback, as well as to the hard conditions of live gigs.
The e 935 is used by bands such as Swedish power metal band Sabaton and UK progressive rock band, Black Peaks.
