Sennheiser e845 Extended High Frequency Response Supercardioid Microphone

For the last 20 years, I’ve been using Shure SM58 mics for live recording of 2 male vocalists with similar pitch. But there was an imbalance in their recorded voice quality, because singer #1 prefers to be very close to the mic (almost touching) whereas singer #2 moves around a lot, ranging from a half-inch to about 3-4 inches away from the mic. I just couldn’t figure out a solution for this.I stumbled upon this mic and after reading the reviews, I decided to give it a try, thinking it may solve the problem for singer #2 since it’s a supercardioid mic.It worked perfectly and the problem is now solved! I realised that the SM58 has a slightly more pronounced bass proximity effect, which was creating the problem because of the varying distance of singer #2.In fact, I’d say that the voice quality of the Sennheiser e845 is slightly (but noticeably) better than that of the SM58. The Sennheiser e845 has extremely transparent, clear, un-coloured, natural sound, and it works very well even when the distance from the singer to the mic varies within a range of 0-4 inches. The build quality appears to be as rugged as the legendary Shure SM58.I would strongly recommend this mic as a good solution for live vocal recording and broadcast.

An excellent microphone with good rejection of feedback. Excellent for live performance on the stage.

Great vocal reproduction at a great price! Super microphone
