Sennheiser SL Handheld 865 DW SpeechLine Digital Wireless Microphone
The SL Handheld 865 shares its body with the standard SL Handheld but swaps in the MME 865 capsule, giving it a wider frequency response for presenters who want a fuller, more natural pickup than the base speech-optimized capsule. It is still built for Sennheiser's SpeechLine Digital Wireless system, with bidirectional communication that lets the SL Rack Receiver adjust the transmitter without anyone touching the handheld.
It runs in the 1920-1930 MHz DECT band with automatic frequency and interference management, and the rechargeable Li-Ion pack runs up to 15 hours per charge. AES 256 encryption protects the RF link, and 24-bit/48 kHz sampling keeps the audio clean through the digital chain.
