Two Pickup Patterns, in a Rugged Handheld Condenser!

Sennheiser's e965 is a large-diaphragm, true-condenser handheld microphone that features an innovative dual-diaphragm capsule.

Plus, with the e965, you'll enjoy the sensitivity you'd find from a top studio condenser microphone while enjoying Sennheiser proven stage ruggedness. The microphone also features a low-cut switch, to help remove rumble and wind noise, and a 10dB pad. You also get an excellent 40Hz-20kHz frequency response with the Sennheiser e965.

Best customer service Ive ever encountered. My guitar arrived ahead of the date it was supposed to, in flawless condition. Played well right out of the box. I will be buying all of my gear from you, from here on out. You made me feel like I was ordering a custom guitar, just for me. I was treated like a valuable customer.
