Sennheiser e845 Supercardioid Dynamic Vocal Microphone

The Sennheiser e845 is a supercardioid dynamic vocal microphone for singers who need maximum isolation on loud, monitor-heavy stages. Its tighter supercardioid pattern rejects more off-axis sound than a cardioid, narrowing the pickup to the source directly in front and raising gain before feedback when wedges or in-ears sit close. An extended high-frequency response keeps vocals crisp, present, and intelligible even through a busy full-band mix. Spanning 40 Hz to 16 kHz, it reproduces the warmth of the chest voice and the detail of consonants without emphasizing handling or plosive noise.

A neodymium magnet element gives the e845 high output for a strong, clean signal into the preamp, while the shock-mounted capsule and hum-compensating coil keep handling noise and electrical interference low. The full metal body is engineered to survive the knocks of nightly touring and fast stage changeovers. It requires no phantom power and connects over a standard 3-pin XLR, so it integrates with any live rig immediately. For lead vocalists working loud stages where separation is the priority, the e845 is a rugged, focused, feedback-resistant workhorse.
