mrjason « Not for live use! »
Published on 12/29/12 at 00:49The sennheiser e815S is a dynamic vocal microphone that is very affordable only costing 130 dollars for the 3 pack of them which is what I bought. At first I thought I was getting a great deal on a great microphone but after using them I noticed they were not very good with handling stage noise. I ended up returning them about a week after I purchased them because if they cannot handle stage noise then I will have no use for them.
OVERALL OPINION
If you are in a completely silent room using them the sound was not too bad, but in a real club or night scene using these sounded awful! It was a good thing that we also do a quick run through before we do the real show; we had a chance to use them with just some general bar sounds going on in the back ground it picked almost everything up. We knew that we could not use them when it came time to go live so we sent them back and got a refund.
These would be great practice mics because they are small and have decent quality but if you want to use them for performance I just don’t think it is possible to use them because of everything they pick up. It will make you sound horrible using these on a stage with noise going on all around them. I do not recommend getting these for live use, I do however think it is a great practice microphone and if you are getting 3 of them for that price it is almost a steal. Just do not use them for a real live show or it could end your career quickly. On the upside they do have an on and off switch on them and they are rugged and built to last.
