Detail 01
Dynamic capsule
Less sensitive than a condenser. It ignores room noise and stage bleed, and survives being dropped.

Sennheisere 835 Cardioid Dynamic Vocal Microphone
1/6
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Standard handheld dynamic vocal mic for live use. Buy it if you need a rugged stage mic that plugs into any board without extra power.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Lead or backing vocals through a live PA
- Rehearsal rooms and small clubs with loud stage volume
- Handheld use where cable and mic get abused
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Studio vocal tracking where air and detail matter
- Anyone needing a mute switch on the mic body
- Plug-and-play USB recording into a laptop
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Cardioid pattern
Picks up in front, rejects behind. Point the back of the mic at your monitor wedge to fight feedback.
Detail 03
No phantom power needed
Works off any XLR input, powered board or not. Nothing to switch on before you sing.
Detail 04
40Hz–16kHz response
Rolls off above 16kHz, so it stays out of harsh sibilance territory rather than chasing top-end sparkle.
Detail 05
11.6 oz, 7.1 inches
Enough mass to feel planted in the hand and stay put in a clip without nosediving.
Detail 06
XLR output
Needs a mixer, interface or preamp with an XLR input. No 1/4 inch or USB connection.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01No XLR cable included — buy one sized for your stage
- 02Clip and case are included; a mic stand is not
- 03Handling noise travels up the body, so use a stand for quiet passages
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Do I need phantom power for the e 835?
No. It is a dynamic mic and runs off the XLR signal path alone. Leaving phantom power on will not damage it, but it does nothing.
02Can I plug this straight into my computer?
Not directly. You need an audio interface or mixer with an XLR input and a mic preamp, then connect that to the computer.
03Does it come with a cable and stand?
It ships with a clip and a case. Cable and stand are separate purchases.
04Will it work for recording, not just live?
Yes, for loud sources and untreated rooms, since it hears less of the room. For detailed studio vocals a condenser captures more top end.
