The difference between the e935 and the e945 is amazing.The e945 is way less compressed and the details are very very evident.
My wife ( main vocalist )has been using the E935 in a working cover band covering a wide variety of different styles for over six years and only had one issue which was taken care of by some of the best customer service you could ask for with no issues whatsoever sennheiser has been a total workhorse and deliverers excellent performance every show
This is so helpful! Thank you!
835 or 945 we feel are the best the MD series sounds to compress and two restrictive as a microphone it doesn't have an open sound to it
using a TLM103 at my home studio for everything, probably the only mic I ever picked up after 5 years of research and now I'm having this for more than 10 years and I never felt like I need another Studio Mic.
completely lost when it comes to stage mics though. I feel like still haven't found that thing that just sounds like "mine", if you know what I mean and I have tried out a lot of mics, but I need to try a lot more to finally feel comfortable one day with a good stage mic. if anyone does singing, rapping and screaming with a Neumann KMS 105 or 104 or 104 Plus hmu I rly wanna hear your stories!
Liked the 845 on this singer!
Been using the Austrian Audio OC707 live male and female rock and country, amazing mfing mic.
bought 2 e945s yesterday.. need to unpack
Everyone should start with a 935 and go from there.
To me, each super cardioid version sounded tighter, with some evidence of the pattern tightness as well, within reason though.
I couldn't go wrong choosing any, however I think I'd favor the 945, middle price of the offerings with super cardioid. But for those that would use my mics, they need cardioid instead. Less focus on the sweet spot for mic pickup people that I'm dealing with.
What do we actually use for vocals? Mostly wireless handhelds at church, one inexpensive MXL 2001 large wired condenser, 1 Shure BLX SM58 our second newest, 1 Sennheiser XSW2 865 my own, and 2 Shure BLX with basic PG58s that are being replaced with SM58s soon. We had to go bargain cheap or do without and replacing as budget allows.
Great demo folks.
Why does my mic for live performances have a high and low switch???
Almost none of the mic tests were labeled. Idk which one is making the sound i like. Could you label them?
Bottom left
She Should have been a bit closer to the mic. It would have been a fuller sound for her. Being that far from the mics makes her sound shrill and tinny. Not sure why you guys did it this way. I do hear the differences between the 8XX series and the 9XX series the most. The 8XX's are generally a bit warmer while the 9XX mics are generally a good bit brighter with a very boosted top end, especially the e935. The MD range generally have a more controlled top end with a bit more body than the 9XX's, to my ears. So it really depends on the singer's voice and what they're looking for in a microphone sonically. Knowing the kind of performer you are regarding mic technique is a big factor as to whether you get the cardoid or supercardioid versions of any microphone. I really liked the e945 and the MD 445 on his voice. Can't really judge how these mics were on the woman's voice as she was too far away for getting the best sound for her voice out of these mics with flat EQ.
Just got the e945. Mine doesn't say made in Germany 😮
Made in China??😂
Sennheiser mics are always top heavy and sibilant
Please test mic senheiser skm9000
It's all the same no differencd at all.
I don’t hear any difference among all thecmics
Its subtle, which is always the case, however RUclipss compression algorithms make things sound much closer than they actually are in the flesh.
Not as good as the SM58
oh dear.... seriously... The SM58 is NOT good by todays standard - except in a very loud rock band with a sub standard PA. id take ANY Senny over a 58. The Beta 58 is better, but the only Shures Id rate really are the NXN8 and the KSM8. The MD431 from Senny I think is better than any of those her mind, but thats close. I liek Beyers most as a general "manufacturer". the best all round IS a Shurs though - but the Beta 57 not a 58. Its all personal of course, but I think your one like statement is demonstratable not true. Id also say - you cant tell ANYTHING on youtube. Its compression algorithms ruin any real comparison. Testing int eh flesh shows things much clearer.
@@paulmapp8306 My personal choice is Electro Voice
I cant find your response to directly reply to. BUT - a few reasons. 1. Its seen as industry standard so people just use them without thought. 2. They are very rugged - and thats far more important to many than actually how good they sound. 3. people dont change with the times - it was good in teh 60s must still be good. 4. People dont change opinion as PAs got better - back int he da y they WERE great, low wattage and poor quality PAs needed brute strength to cut - and the SM58 does just that - its a sledgehammer through a mix, but its got no finess. 5. there are FAR more NOT using SM58s than do 9in fact Sennheisers are trhe most popular for pro vocalists, by quite a way - though not one specific model) . 6. For a sound engineer that doesnt know a band - the 58 is a decent place to start, and pretty much all engineers carry them as "do it all" mics. 7. they are still very reasonably priced (the stock 58) and even the Beta isnt silly money. They are a good mic at their price point. The simple fact it - they are good mics. They are NOT great mics. there are USUALLY of MOST vocals far better options. They do a decent job in most situations - but again there not top of the tree - far from it. There good value for money too. The SM58s reputation was forged in the 60s and 70s - for good reason. Unfortunately people still think of them in that way when times, PA and mic design have moved on.
@@paulmapp8306 I was actually meaning the Shure 58a Beta rather than the 58...But I forgot to write beta... I tend to use Electro Voice mics for live work.. I know that the standard 58 is a historically reliable mic and alot of people still use them.. I personally prefer the 58 beta as opposed to the standard 58 as it seems to be louder and clearer, especially for solo gigs.
Get better singers next time lol😂
Hahahaha come on!!!! Get serious and get better vocals 😂
Lol the guy can’t even sing 😂
Yes he can
