Questions & Answers

FAQ

What is the advantage of the switchable polar patterns on the Sennheiser e 965 microphone?

The switchable cardioid and supercardioid polar patterns offer versatility for different recording situations. Cardioid is perfect for capturing sound directly in front of the microphone, while supercardioid offers a narrower pick-up area, reducing background noise and feedback.

What is a large-diaphragm, true condenser microphone?

A large-diaphragm, true condenser microphone like the Sennheiser e 965 has a larger diaphragm that captures more details of the sound source. It uses an external power source to polarize the diaphragm, resulting in a more sensitive and accurate response.

Is the Sennheiser e 965 microphone suitable for studio recording?

Yes, the Sennheiser e 965 microphone is suitable for both live performances and studio recording. Its high sensitivity and precision make it ideal for capturing vocals in a studio setting.

What is included with the Sennheiser e 965 microphone?

The Sennheiser e 965 microphone comes with a microphone clamp for secure and stable mounting during performances or recording.

Can the Sennheiser e 965 microphone be used for podcasting?

Absolutely, the Sennheiser e 965 microphone is a versatile tool that can be used for a range of vocal applications, including podcasting. Its high-quality sound capture makes it an excellent choice for podcasters seeking professional audio quality.
