Sennheiser E835 Cardioid Handheld Dynamic Vocal Microphone

Overview

The Sennheiser 4513 is a handheld dynamic microphone designed specifically for live vocal performances. It features a cardioid polar pattern that captures vocals clearly while minimizing background noise and feedback, even when the singer moves around the stage. With a frequency response ranging from 40 Hz to 16 kHz and a sensitivity of 2.7 mV/Pa, it delivers natural and detailed sound reproduction that suits a variety of live settings from intimate clubs to large concert venues.

Built to endure the demands of touring and frequent use, this microphone combines durability with professional-grade audio quality. Its rugged metal housing reduces handling noise and protects the internal components, while the hum-compensating coil minimizes electrical interference for clean sound. The presence boost enhances vocal clarity and projection without harshness, and the minimal proximity effect keeps bass response balanced regardless of how close the vocalist is to the microphone.
