The Sennheiser e 865 Handheld Condenser Micrepresents the first condenser microphone in the acclaimed evolution series. A live performance, lead vocal microphone, the e 865 easily cuts through high-on-stage levels by virtue of its detailed and natural 40 Hz to 20 kHz reproduction and superb transient response.

Its smooth supercardioid polar pattern rejects feedback with low, off-axis coloration. The e 865 withstands sound pressure levels of up to 150 dB, and deftly suppresses pop noise. While it picks up the finest sonic nuances, the e 865 is at the same time rugged, benefiting from high-quality workmanship and a robust all-metal housing.

Q: 3. When we tested this mic back in 2015, we felt that it exhibited too much popping -- too sensitive to wind/plosives. We didn't want to use a foam windscreen, which would have negated much of its otherwise beautiful sound. Has this been corrected at all?

A: Over the recent years Sennheiser has improved upon their internal pop filters in e-series microphones, but as to how much more effective it is now versus five years ago would be difficult to say. Of course it is always best to try out a microphone before you purchase one, but that is not always an option, so I would encourage you to give us a call at 800-606-6969 and speak with a Pro Audio specialist who give you solid advise as to which mics to consider for your needs.

A: No. Only one transmitter can be used at a time with the Sennheiser XSW-D XLR MALE RX Plug-In Receiver.

A: These systems work line of sight and base specs off of optimal conditions. Realistically, 100-150 feet would work even though most of the time they will claim around 300 feet.

Q: 6. What is the correct pouch for e604?

A: I do not know... These are large enough to handle a standard baton wireless microphone such as a Sennheiser, or Shure... I bought them to carry BLUE embers in when in the field.

Q: 7. Can this be paired with itself for stereo input to say, Zoom H6 recorder, for dSLR TRS minijack input? Need to record high end performances without post-processing.

A: This is a mono microphone that requires phantom power. It will not work directly with a miniplug without a power supply.

Q: 10. Can I get this in the G frequency Range or another Range?

A: No. As a US dealer, B&H offers the components in the Sennheiser XSW 2 Wireless Combo System with Handheld Mic & Senal Earset Mic for frequency range A (548 to 572 MHz) which is the only frequency band offered for the XS Wireless Series systems to use in North America. All of the frequency bands for Sennheiser's XS Wireless Series systems differ from the frequency bands used for the Evolution Wireless Series and the components from these two series do not work together. For example, frequency range A for the Evolution Wireless Series system is 516 to 558 MHz, which is different from the A range for the XS Wireless series. There is no frequency range G for the XS Wireless Series and the other ranges that Sennheiser offers for the XS systems are only for use in different countries. Each of the other frequency ranges for the XS Wireless Series are only sold in the countries where they can be used.
