Sennheiser e 845 Dynamic Supercardioid Vocal Microphone (4515)

First class sturdy professional mic. Robustly put together, teriffic response, the genuine article is top class. I have two and they are excellent. A real SHURE SM58-beater. Prices vary, but take care not to go for an offer thats suspiciously cheap or you end up with far -eastern knock offs which look almost identical (the metallic colour is ever so slightly different when closely compared) and the frequency range is narrower than the real thing. Check the spec on the Sennheiser website against the spec on sale to be sure, or stay with a reputable mainstream seller. Even if you think you are paying a premium - its worth it!

We are a gigging band. I chose mine 3 years ago with a previous band and I "play tested" lots in a very good shop. Both singers eventually dumped their "recommended" SM58s and much prefer this one. It seems to just be so much more dynamic and responsive. Only problem is, the singer now hogs it as her own.

¡Primero que nada, llegó 1 semana antes de lo programado cosa que agradezco bastante porque si me urgía! El micrófono tiene captura de bajos con muy buena calidad y agudos claros. Es un micrófono que no retroalimenta entonces es recomendable para presentaciones en vivo. Es cómodo para sujetar, aunque me había acostumbrado a mi micrófono anterior que era muy ligero, este micrófono es un poco pesado, pero eso lo hace resistente. Yo lo uso para cantar con pistas. Excelente compra! Les comparto video

Replaced my band's old Shure mic's with these, huge improvement. I love them and will buy more in the future.

Muitas vezes é difícil se querer fugir das marcas de nome um pouco mais forte, como AKG ou Shure. Essa também é uma marca bem conhecida, mas eu acho que tem menos mídia ao redor da mesma. Comprei depois de alguns reviews lidos e assistidos e não tenho nenhum arrependimento na aposta que fiz por ter comprado pela internet e não em loja física. Excelente sonoridade, agudos muito limpos (sem chiadeira) e microfone de boa estrutura e isolação. Um ótimo produto !

Sounds amazing

For the last 20 years, I’ve been using Shure SM58 mics for live recording of 2 male vocalists with similar pitch. But there was an imbalance in their recorded voice quality, because singer #1 prefers to be very close to the mic (almost touching) whereas singer #2 moves around a lot, ranging from a half-inch to about 3-4 inches away from the mic. I just couldn’t figure out a solution for this. I stumbled upon this mic and after reading the reviews, I decided to give it a try, thinking it may solve the problem for singer #2 since it’s a supercardioid mic. It worked perfectly and the problem is now solved! I realised that the SM58 has a slightly more pronounced bass proximity effect, which was creating the problem because of the varying distance of singer #2. In fact, I’d say that the voice quality of the Sennheiser e845 is slightly (but noticeably) better than that of the SM58. The Sennheiser e845 has extremely transparent, clear, un-coloured, natural sound, and it works very well even when the distance from the singer to the mic varies within a range of 0-4 inches. The build quality appears to be as rugged as the legendary Shure SM58. I would strongly recommend this mic as a good solution for live vocal recording and broadcast.
