Sennheiser E 965

Sennheiser E 965 is a premium large-diaphragm condenser vocal microphone, designed for professional live performances and vocal applications. Combining studio-grade clarity with the durability of stage microphones, it features a dual-diaphragm capsule with a switchable pickup pattern (cardioid/supercardioid), excellent feedback rejection, and a built-in -10 dB pad for handling high sound pressure levels up to 152 dB.

With its 25.4 mm diaphragm, E 965 delivers a detailed, open, and natural sound that captures vocal nuances with precision. The internal shock-mounted capsule and highly effective windscreen minimize handling noise, plosives, and environmental interference. Its rugged full-metal housing ensures resistance to moisture, mechanical stress, and stage conditions, making it a reliable choice for touring vocalists, presenters, and performers.

Switching between cardioid and supercardioid patterns allows adaptation to various acoustic environments, offering flexibility in isolation or ambient pickup. Whether you’re performing in a loud live band setup or addressing a crowd at a conference, the E 965 maintains clarity, intelligibility, and impressive vocal presence. The microphone ships with a MZQ 800 mic clip and a protective zippered pouch for convenient transport and storage.
