  Characteristics

  The Sennheiser E 845 is one of four Sennheiser microphones designed with live application in mind to go head to head with the venerable standards of the industry, the fabled Shure microphones. Sennheiser did not exactly craft four microphones to specifically take on each of the four Shures, but if I had to draw a comparison, I would put it right up against a Shure Beta 58A. Again, there is not a direct comparison possible, but it seems that Sennheiser is still attempting to snipe Shure off of their throne. Let us see how it compares.
  
  
  
  The Sennheiser E 845 is a dynamic microphone designed specifically with vocal applications in mind. It has a supercardioid pattern to ensure superb off axis rejection, It is additionally, according to Sennheiser, and me, for that matter, pretty good at preventing feedback. It is not quite like the E 945, but the Sennheiser E 845 does rather well in this regard as well.
  
  
  
  The Sennheiser E 845 has a frequency response from 40-16,000 Hz, a little more impressive in its range than the Shure standbys. It functions quite well for live use, but when recording, as noted by another review, a peak happens in the higher mids and may induce sibilance in some singers that get a hold of this microphone, because everyone is different, and a few singers have a scarily low lower threshold for their sibilance ranges.
  
  
  
  I prefer it to the Shure microphones because the Shure microphones do something honky with the midrange, but I find, oddly enough, that out of the four Sennheiser microphones: the E 835, the E 845, the E 935, and the E 945, the E 845 is the only one that I do not particularly like. It has nothing to do with the fact that it is a bad microphone, but out of the four, this one seems to be dragging its feet.

  Overall Opinion

  The Shure E 845 is probably an upgrade from the Shures most people are used to using, but out of this range, this is the one I do not like. Stick with the base level E 835 or go big with the E 9x5's.

  Characteristics

  The mike came with a neat little pouch and its own head for a mike stand.
  
  
  
  £90.00

  Overall Opinion

  This mike has a very high out-put, with hardly any noise even when pushed quite hard. The sound is clear and warm and would suit live vocals well. In recording it works well but seems to enhance sibilance due to a peak in frequency response at around 5khz. It works quite well on acoustic guitars, yet its frequency response only goes as high as 16khz. A harmonic exciter lifts it nicely and sounds fine.
  
  
  
  Just plug it in and away you go! The manual gives you a detailed map of the frequency response.
  
  
  
  This is really a hardcore giging mike, I reckon it would take a good knocking around without giving up the ghost. Its feel and look is very solid. Its streamlined look and bullet grey metal body oozes quality!
  
  
  
  I love this mike, its helped me record many a song and will help me record many a song in the future.

  earz's review ( translated ) Improve this translation " VERY GOOD"

  Characteristics

  see data sheet.

  Overall Opinion

  few years with many other references. From my point of view better than SM58 for two reasons:
  
  - No it did not sound like the stuffy 58 and has a better definition in the high end (like the beta 58).
  
  - It is much less sensitive to the instruments around repisse (ypercardio requires).
  
  All that does not work in a 58 with a 845 and vice-versa.
  
  I personally prefer this type of micro just more balanced, less expensive with a more modern sound.

  Characteristics

  CORDIO dynamic vocal microphone. Trs solid over 6 years of work, a few falls and bcp concert he did not move a hair

  Overall Opinion

  I use the microwave for 6 years.
  
  Frankly, I have been trying to bcp sm58, I think the quality of its 845 well suprieure.Il is not "loud" in mdiums and rather late in the bass. Good level of output gain.
  
  This is also true that each type of glue voice with a microphone and not another. For me that has a rather serious voice I really can not sing SM58, c really horrible, I tried a lot of mic (akg, shure, ..) is the one who sticks my best. I find it enjoyable trs also sound to the female voice.
  
  I redid the same choice and remake more ..

  Skaya00's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  Micro Dynamic supercardiode, more suited for the scene to record.

  Overall Opinion

  I have been using one (I got tired very quickly but I'm saving to buy a good, a static!)
  
  what attracted to me that it is the echos micro why it is very similar to the SM58
  
  who regularly used the SM58 for 2 months, I want to tell you that this is not the case at all,
  
  the sound is crystal tro, tro aggressive in the treble, and I think it is appropriate for pa's always my voice,
  
  the report is qualitprix honest, but with the experience I remake pa this choice and if I could go back I would have bought the SM58 with no hesitation!

  Phil845's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  It is a supercardioid dynamic microphone intended to be sung
  
  Bandwidth: 40Hz 16 kHz
  
  Its design is very robust and enjoyable handling.

  Overall Opinion

  I use the microwave for 2 years now and sometimes rpeter in concert.
  
  It REPRESENTATIVES me a quality alternative to the SM58. Regarding the sound, I must say even possder 2, I prfre the sennheiser (her very little color.
  
  It provides a bit more gain, and most importantly, I find its best Dfine, giving a better voice intelligibility.
  
  It rvle however, a little more sensitive to feedback that the SM58, and can therefore be used in more difficult conditions.
  
  For a price infrieur in SM58 (about 130E 110E against) the ratio of qualitprix E845 is excellent, and it's not that I would do hsiter choice.
  
  But in its Contents, everyone has their preferences, and a microphone that will suit one may not please another, it is therefore essential, before you buy, try the diff ent MODELS. But if you want acqurir a microphone in this price range and compltement You are not convinced by the SM58, it's a safe bet that you will drive to the E845. But in any case, try before you DCID.
