e 965
1/2
The e 965 is Sennheiser‘s first large-diaphragm, true con-
denser handheld microphone. The innovative 1" dual-dia-
phragm capsule means you can access both cardioid and
super-cardioid polar patterns with the flip of a switch.
Ideal for every vocal application, the e 965 truly combines
the sensitivity of a world-class studio condenser with the
ruggedness our customers demand from a Sennheiser
evolution stage microphone.
FEATURES
• Switchable pick-up pattern (cardioid/super-cardioid)
• Low cut switch
• Switchable preattenuation (– 10 dB)
• Highly effective, integral acoustic pop and windshield
• Effective protection against moisture
• Shock-mounted capsule provides excellent suppression
of handling noise

ARCHITECT‘S SPECIFICATION
The vocal microphone shall be an externally polarized large
dual-diaphragm AF condenser with a switchable pick-up
pattern (cardioid/super-cardioid). It shall have a rugged
metal body and a shock-mounted capsule and shall be
fitted with a low cut switch and a sensitivity switch (0 dB,
–10 dB).
The frequency response shall be 40 Hz – 20,000 Hz. The
sensitivity (free field, no load) shall be 7 mV/Pa at 1 kHz or
2.3 mV/Pa at 1 kHz with preattenuation. Nominal impe-
dance shall be 50 Ω, with a min. terminating impedance of
1 kΩ. Maximum SPL shall be 142 dB or 152 dB with preatte-
nuation. Equivalent noise level shall be 21 dB.
The microphone shall operate on 48 V phantom power and
shall provide a 3-pin XLR connector. Operating tempera-
ture shall range from 0 °C – 40 °C (32 °F – 104 °F). Dimen-
sions shall be 48 x 199 mm (1.89" x 7.83"). Weight shall be
396 grams (13.97 oz).
The microphone shall be the Sennheiser e 965.
