Detail 01
Cardioid pattern
Rejects sound from behind, so a monitor placed directly in front of the singer stays out of the mic.

Sennheisere 935 Cardioid Dynamic Vocal Microphone
1/4
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Cardioid dynamic handheld for lead vocals on stage. Extended top end and tight pattern suit singers who want detail without a condenser's feedback risk.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Lead vocals in a loud band on a wedge-monitor stage
- Singers who want more air than a standard stage dynamic
- Working gigs where the mic gets handled every night
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Studio work needing full condenser detail above 18kHz
- Choir or room miking — it wants to be close
- Anyone needing an on/off switch at the mic
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
40Hz–18kHz response
Reaches higher than most stage dynamics, so consonants and breath detail come through without an EQ boost.
Detail 03
Dynamic capsule, no phantom power
Plug into any XLR input. Works on passive mixers and older boards with no 48V available.
Detail 04
12.5 oz weight
Substantial in the hand. Feels planted for a singer who holds the mic, heavier than a plastic-body alternative.
Detail 05
1.8 in. diameter head
Standard handheld size, fits common mic clips and shockmounts without adapters.
Detail 06
No on/off switch
Nothing for a singer to bump mid-song. Muting happens at the board, which is how most engineers prefer it.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01No XLR cable in the box — buy one to match your run length
- 02A clip and case are included; a stand is not
- 03Cardioid means proximity effect — backing off thins the low end noticeably
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does the e 935 need phantom power?
No. It's a dynamic mic and runs off any standard XLR input, powered or not.
02Is there an on/off switch?
No. The mic is always live, so muting is done at the mixer.
03What's included?
The mic, a clip, and a case. No cable and no stand.
04How does the cardioid pattern affect monitor placement?
Put wedges directly behind the mic, pointed at the singer's back side of the capsule. That null point is where feedback rejection is strongest.
