Sennheiser - e 865 - Electret Condenser Supercardioid Handheld Microphone

The Sennheiser e 865 is a pre-polarized electret condenser supercardioid handheld microphone designed for live performance and lead vocals, delivering natural, detailed sound from 40 Hz–20 kHz with superb transient response, high sound pressure handling, and a rugged all-metal housing, powered by 12–48 V phantom power via 3-pin XLR and backed by a 2-year global (10-year AMER) warranty.

The Sennheiser e 865 is the first condenser microphone in the evolution series, engineered for demanding live production and touring applications with its supercardioid pickup pattern that effectively isolates lead vocals and speech while rejecting off-axis noise. Featuring a pre-polarized condenser capsule with 200 Ω impedance, 1000 Ω minimum terminating impedance, and exceptional transient response, it captures subtle nuances with clarity across a 40 Hz–20 kHz frequency range. Its robust steel inlet basket and all-metal body withstand intense stage use, while requiring 12–48 V phantom power through a 3-pin XLR connection, making it ideal for moderators, speakers, and high-volume performances.
