All user reviews of 4/5 for the Sennheiser e 835

Dynamic vocal microphone (hyper) cardioid. is not nothing else, on pain of being disappointed.

OVERALL OPINION

This mic has intere my gear last year, because I find an alternative voulias Ahx Shure ones that I find, has a reputation overrated, and with a very unpleasant bump in the midrange.

It did not take long for me to find what Sennheiser, for "a morsel of bread" in Germany, with a cable and a foot (both rotten, but useful for quick start).

His great quality is to stay very 'flat'. The low mids and bass do not drool, but plosives are problematic without correction. In any case it's perfectly transcribed growls and singing remains intelligible in all circumstances.

Good resistance to Feedback on stage, this mic is really very strong ... and unfortunately very heavy, which could interfere with those who wear their microphones.

The Senheiser e835 is a hand held style dynamic microphone that can be used in just about any situation. I've personally only used it in a recording studio where I was the assistant engineering on the session. The e835 has a hypercardioid polar pick up pattern, so it picks up sound best when a source goes directly head on into it. While I haven't used this for vocals during a live show, this is the perfect kind of microphone for that sort of use. The setting that I used it in was for a live recording session.


OVERALL OPINION

When using the e835 , the main idea for us was to get a nice sounding vocal without it picking up too much surrounding sound since the singer was in the same room as the drummer and the rest of the band. This wasn't for the recording of an album, but for a live recording session, so the idea was more to get a vibe with everyone in the room rather than isolating everyone. We choose the Audix e835 one day when we decided to start experimenting with the vocal microphone that we did for these sessions to see if anything else could work as well as the Electrovoice RE-20s that we were normally using to record vocals. The e835 was around and seemed like a logical choice because of it's hand held nature and the fact that it is a hyper cardioid microphone that won't pick up unnecessary low or high end sound. While perhaps not as good for this application as the RE-20 was, the e835 got us a very good sound when run through a Neve 8108 console and a Tube Tech compressor. It wasn't as full sounding as the RE-20, but was definitely adequate and did a great job of isolating the vocal sound. Although a bit more expensive than other hand held microphones of this nature, the e835 is definitely in another league as it sounds a lot better than most of them out there as well. If you're looking for a high quality vocal mic for studio live sessions or live shows, the e835 should definitely be on the list of mics to investigate.

He spends much trs sounds fltes (beak) and that's what I wanted. For the voice I am not a singer but I have fun and all I Manir reconverts recording with effects, so ... But it is Fidler in tone of voice and most important.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it since episode six months sentence. It is on a pole, and seems to expect it is used wisely.
I do not know much and it is almost by chance that adcid. I have not tried before. guided me and the seller. (Supermarket hyper Specializes in computer and all its dbouchs, the Bastille APRS following the green hole ...)
Any Manir, I think I got lost with all the reviews on the forums, while using as it should go ahead and considering the price, I bought it without anything other than rflchir the brand that is for me a REFERENCE in its Contents.
I do not have that choice would do just to have a DIFFERENT.
For now it covers all my needs perfectly in the Contents

OVERALL OPINION

I was looking for a simple and effective micro beginners on back vocals.

I had the choice between the SM58 and Sennheiser. The Sennheiser has actually a more complte rponse curve is that it better meets the treble. The SM58 is more typical.

In rpt, not a pro n'tant the sound system, big problem to remove the feedback from this microphone. However the SM58 does not his problem because of its rponse lower in acute, which has tipped my choice on the SM58.

Overall, I think the difference between the two is a matter of got, some will prfrer the Sennheiser, others will find that their voice is better with respect shure. I chose the easy part and I'm singing, no feedback

I put a score of 8 Whereas I trs good as the microphone with a good quality price (79 dc 2007), but better be aware that use is not always simple. Over time, I will see what can be Sennheiser E 835 if I find the SM58 too limited.

OVERALL OPINION

My band has used this mic on tour extensively. Everyone in the band sings so we have 3. They are very balanced sound wise, which is a blessing and a curse. I have a high range, so I come through the mix quite well with very little EQ necessary. Sometimes a little push in the low mids helps but it depends on the venue. My bass player has a deep voice, so the engineer usually has to use the low cut extensively to prevent boom and keep him from sounding undefined. The only time these can really be left un-eq'ed in with a female vocalist. They almost never get pitchy in the high end like some mics do. We used to have a female singer with a high voice and we had to cut her high end out with almost every mic she used. When she used this one we were able to leave it flat. They do have a tendency to boom with male voices however.

The basic goal of the 835 as I see it is to cut out some of the upper mids to prevent feeback where it occurs. For a female vocalist this does work well. However, to get a male voice to sound intelligible you have to boost the mids at the board, causing the mic for feedback a lot quicker. In other words, Sennheiser has sacrificed its mic's ability to mix well in order to prevent feedback. This isn't as big a problem as it sounds though. Just an observation really.

I like the shape of the mic. It isn't rounded like a 58 so you can get closer to the base of it. That's great. I would recommend this mic for live vocal use especially for females. If you have a deep voice it will require some EQ. And be prepared to deal with possible feedback from the increased mids. It really is a great sounding mic for the price though. Well worth it.

The Sennheiser E 835 is a dynamic microphone suitable for use both on the stage and in the recording studio. Since I'm an audio engineer working in studios and not live sound, I've only used the E 835 for recording. I do believe that it is probably best suited for vocals during live shows, since it has a nice build and really just looks like it would be best for live shows. It has built in filter screen, just adding to it's usefulness on the stage. I used the mic for recording vocals during the recording of a full band for a live recording session. There weren't going to be any overdubs, and we just wanted something that would do a good job of blocking out external sound in the live room. It was only a demo, so it didn't really matter to us that this isn't the nicest sounding microphone in the studio. As far as technical characteristics go, the E 835 has a standard cardioid polar pick up and pattern and picks up frequencies between 40 Hz and 16 kHz.

OVERALL OPINION

While definitely a well built microphone, I wouldn't really recommend using the Sennheiser E 835 in the studio. While it has a decent enough sound, it doesn't have all that much clarity or detail for a microphone to use in the studio. I haven't used it for anything other than vocals, so I can't say how well it would work for other applications. Having said this, it is really designed for vocals so I don't think that it would sound too much better for other things. So while I haven't used the E 835 for a live show, it seems to me that this would really be the best use for this microphone. It is priced as a higher end live mic rather than a studio microphone as well. If you're in the market for a hand held dynamic mic, I'd definitely check this one out, but there are definitely better mic choices for any application for use in the studio...
