1/3
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Replacement condenser capsule for Sennheiser evolution wireless handheld transmitters. Buy it to change the sound of a transmitter you already own.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Swapping a dynamic capsule for condenser detail on lead vocals
- Standardizing capsules across several handheld transmitters
- Replacing a damaged capsule without buying a whole transmitter
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone without a compatible Sennheiser handheld transmitter body
- Wired mic users — this has no XLR output on its own
- Loud stages where a condenser's sensitivity invites feedback
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
e 865 condenser element
Condenser capsules pick up more detail and air than dynamics, at the cost of more sensitivity to stage noise.
Detail 03
MME 865-1 designation
The MME thread and contact standard determines which transmitter bodies it fits. Match this against your system.
Detail 04
Black finish
Matches standard black transmitter bodies so the swap isn't visible from the audience.

Know before you order
- 01Confirm your transmitter body accepts MME-series capsules before ordering

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit my Sennheiser handheld transmitter?
It fits transmitter bodies built for MME-series capsules. Check your transmitter's model and capsule mount before ordering, since Sennheiser thread standards vary across lines.
02Is this a complete wireless microphone?
No. This is the capsule head only. You need a compatible handheld transmitter body and a matching receiver for a working wireless system.
03How is a condenser capsule different from a dynamic one?
Condensers capture more high-frequency detail and a more open sound. They're also more sensitive, so they pick up more stage bleed and can feed back sooner.
04Does swapping the capsule require tools?
No. Capsules thread onto the transmitter body by hand. Power the transmitter down before swapping to protect the contacts.
