Sennheiser Pro Audio Dynamic Microphone (009421)

Great mid range detail, noticed it on the first recording I made, forces me to be a more exacting and controlled vocalist.

I bought the 935 and the 945 at the same time to compare on stage as well as in the studio, I kept the 935 because it is virtually immune to feedback, which was the downfall, for me, of the 945 (see my 945 review for details.)

No feedback even with my stage monitor really cranking! High range seems to be a bit boosted, but great depth and detail. The 945 has better low range volume, which can be boosted with EQ on the 935.

Since I’m a solo act, and do not have a sound tech, I would have preferred it to have a switch, but that’s a little gripe about a really fine mic.

Ho sempre usato Sennheiser e non mi ha mai deluso! Per la mia voce è fantastico

I’ve already bought a couple of this across the years. Both still working after several years, the quality is just so good, one of my favorite mics.

We are a 3 piece band. A family band. My daughter is 15, she’s got a nice contralto going without too much power. My son, 13, is adjusting from his voice change, he went from an alto to a unsettled baritone. Lots of power, though, and perfect pitch. As for me, I am a bass who can go pretty high. We do the range of songs, from Obladi-Oblada to Fly me to the moon, from classic rock to classic jazz. Some we scream, some we whisper. Also, we do not have a microphone dedicated to one person. This is because we each play 4 or 5 or 6 instruments and we keep switching. Almost every song has a different set up. Sometimes we sing lead, sometimes back up, depending.
Ok, so now that you understand the situation, I need to say that I bought just one of those seinheiser. I wanted to try it and replace the old EV 967 I believe is their number that we had. We loved the EV. We put them through the Bose L2 system. It has a tune controller. That little controller helps a lot to define the hardware you plug into it. That was for the EV. So I tried the Seinheiser. It shines through it. It is so clear, so vibrant, so accurate. We are studying blending, dynamics, articulations, harmonies. We can hear everything. The Seinheiser project every little details. So, I bought 3 more of the Seinheiser e935. One on the drums, one on the bass, one on the guitar and one on the keyboard. They are all adjusted the same: same volume, same eq, same trim, same reverb. We love them.
Also, they are heavy. They feel like good craftsmanship. My children are careful with the gear in general, but, still, they’re kids, and adult size, and clumsy. Those microphone haven’t moved. They stay with the same qualities. They’ve been dropped, bumped, slapped a few times. They’re still going strong. We do three rehearsal per week. It has been a blast, these Seinheiser have helped a lot. It forces to be aware of what we sing. No muddy sound here. Just plain music when we can manage it.

Sehr weicher Klang

I’ve been using Shure mics for years– including the classic SM57, SM58, and Beta 58A. This Sennheiser e935b mic wasn’t on my radar at all until I saw it was on sale (bringing the price down to that of a new Shure SM58, and cheaper than a Beta 58A).

This mic is absolutely amazing. It beats the SM58 easily and even sounds clearer and better than the Beta 58A (which I think is a better vocal mic than the SM58). The Sennheiser e935 nearly sounds as good as my Rode large-frame condenser and yet is more focused (unidirectional) and doesn’t require phantom power or a pop filter).

The key with the Sennheiser e935 is that it doesn’t sound as dark or muddy as the Shures. The Sennheiser e935 is so clear that you hear so much more detail. Excellent frequency response too. Highs and lows both sound good, and it feels flat and balanced.

I’m really stunned with how good this mic sounds. I will keep the Shure SM57 for some drum and instrument work, but the Sennheiser e935 is hands-down my new favorite mic. Wow, just wow!

I’ve graduated from other less expensive microphones to the Sennheiser 9 series as my singing has improved. I rarely sing on stage or in a noisy room and have an audience to 10 people in a medium size room.
I started off with a e945 and it suited my voice much better than any other mike. However, its super cardioid design meant I must have the mike positioned very accurately. This allows using some mike tricks to lesson or increase some effects, by moving the mike. But this can become tiring after a long session of over a few hours, and I decided to get a e935 with its more forgiving cardioid pattern, especially since there wasn’t any outside sound or noise.
So far so good! the 935 sounds almost as good as a 945, but there is a tiny slight difference where the 945 is very slightly better in tonality, but it’s so minor, you wouldn’t be able to tell in a blind test, or maybe it’s only in my mind!
If you were singing on stage in a noisy environment, the e945 would be the way to go.
