Sennheiser E 825-S Dynamic cardioid microphone for vocals and instruments

The Sennheiser E 825-S Dynamic Cardioid Microphone for Vocals and Instruments is a dynamic handheld microphone with a cardioid polar pattern, ideal for live recording of vocals, instruments and PA use in clubs or churches. Its robust metal construction and shock-mounted capsule effectively counteract handling noise, while the anti-hum coil reduces electromagnetic interference. The frequency response range extends from 80 Hz to 15 kHz, characterised by a balanced curve and a tonal boost around 5 kHz, which enhances vocal clarity. Sensitivity is approximately 1.5 mV/Pa at 1 kHz, with a nominal impedance of 350 Ω and a minimum recommended load of 1 kΩ.

The distinctive feature is the silent ON/OFF switch, useful for discreetly muting the microphone between speeches; the button can be locked in the ‘ON’ position for added convenience. The connector is a 3-pin XLR, ensuring compatibility with most professional audio consoles and preamps. Its compact dimensions (Ø 48 × 180 mm) and low weight of approximately 330 g make it easy to use live.
The bundle includes a clip-on microphone (MZQ 800) and a practical padded case, completing a set designed for use on stage or on the move.

In summary, the Sennheiser E 825-S offers warm, transparent and durable sound with dynamic control and anti-feedback, perfect for those looking for a professional and reliable microphone for vocal and instrumental performances.
