Fantastic Results

I totally was not expecting this mic to be as good as it is. I write and record hip hop music and found this mic to be perfect for the application. This is the best mic you can get before you start heading into condensor mic territory. I have this thing hooked up to my macbook pro through an M-Audio Fast Track USB and the sound quality is amazing.. I was able to redo the dubs on some of my songs and tottaly made them sound much cleaner and crisper than the original gritty recordings.

  Quality Microphone

The e935 is a great dynamic mic. Excellent for vocals, it picks up the sound nicely even at some distance, or can be sung very close-in.
Though it's not billed as an instrument mic, I tested with an acoustic guitar against some other popular dynamic mics and it was a clear winner. I use a condenser mic for studio work but prefer dynamics for live, and this one delivers.
I see it billed everywhere with a frequency response of 40 - 16000, but its manual claims to go clear up to 18,000. Whichever is right, my ears say this mic does the job.

This mike rocks..

I has smoothness..and clarity , it has high rejection..of feedback...
just used it this tuesday..and the house walls were brick..with slick wood floors... not a peek...just set it on the stage...and watch how every performer will pick it out for their mike..it really enhances suttle vocal passages...and tames loud vocals... it's a great mike..for those who have a voice a la Patti labelle, Chaka, A Keys, A franklin.. range..but like any good instrument try before you buy...

THIS WILL BE THE NEW STANDARD 
by Jon from MA, October 2005

THIS WILL BE THE NEW STANDARD IN LIVE VOCAL MICS. IT WOULD BE A STEAL AT 199 EVEN.

I USUALLY DON'T DO REVIEWS BUT THIS PIECE DESERVES ONE BECAUSE IT MAKES FOH'S JOB EASIER

CLARITY, HI GAIN BEFORE FBACK AND PUNCH LIKE YOU WOULDN'T BELIEVE. WE HAVE DONE OVER 50 SMALL GIGS IN 3 MOS, ROTATING 4 OF THESE PUPPIES ON LEADS AND THE IMPROVEMENT WE GET IS INCREDIBLE--

-BECAUSE ITS CLEARER WE CAN USE LOWER MONITOR LEVELS FOR THE SINGERS
-HAS A NICE HOT OUTPUT- ALL PROS KNOW THAT YOU CAN WORK A GATE AND COMPRESSION BETTER W/ A HOTTER SIGNAL. SOUNDS GREAT WHEN BUS'D TO OUR HD24 AS WELL
-CLEAR, CRISP TOP END. IT DOESN'T HAVE THE BRITTLE SHURE SOUND THAT HELD US BACK FOR YEARS
-MADE OF SOMETHING FROM ANOTHER PLANET.

5 OUT OF 5 STARS FROM A LONG-TIME SHURE GUY

a great mic 
by robert from london,england, July 2005

i dont know what was wrong with the guys mic in the last review but it must have been faulty as the sennheiser e935 i have is great. the new 900 series was actually developed by someone who used to work for shure microphones.i have used an shure beta 58 a sennheiser e845 and now the e935 though i havent yet tried the e935 in a live setting, just used it at home and tried it in a couple of music shops. i have tried the e935 out alongside an beta 58 and a audio-technica ae6100.out of all the beta 58 came out the worst as it sounded weak and thin though some times this sound can help cut through the sound of say a loud metal band but the down side is once again it can make your voice sound thin but the very nasally sound of the beta 58 did help me when compared to my sennheiser e845 which didnt seem to cut through the mix the shure was used for live band performances.in one shop the audio-technica ae6100 sounded a little clearer than the e935 but lacked a little less wieght but i think the ae6100 would cut through a loud mix nicely (as good as a beta 58)but would sound much better than a beta 58 giving a fuller sound.the e935 also seemed to have a presence cut in its sound but one that sounde different than the ae6100 not nessercerly better or worse just different. in another shop i tried out all three mics again and the beta 58 didnt sound as bad as before but the audio-technica ae6100 sounded better with a more fuller powerfull sound.in this shop both the ae6100 and the e935 sounded the same clarity wise but the e935 seemed to have more balls to it, with more bottom end as well as a presence in the sound. as i havent yet used the e935 in a live setting i cant state whether it cuts through a loud mix/band as well as sennheiser state but i think it might as it does have a nice presence to the sound but also manages to found full at the same time giving a certain power to the sound.

Disappointed 
by Anonymous from Jersey City, NJ, June 2005

I love Sennheiser - I own two 835's and the back up vocalists in my band use them. For the lead vocalist, I purchased the e935 and was highly disappointed. The 835's are louder in the monitors. Sound people have told me the mic is no good. Maybe I just bought a lemon, but I am not impressed with this mic. It has no power at all.
