Sennheiser E 855

The supercardioid pattern offers a tighter pickup area than standard cardioid mics. This helps isolate your vocals and significantly reduces feedback, making it an excellent choice for loud stages.

While many dynamic mics can sound muddy, the E 855 is tuned for clarity in the hi-mids. It provides a transparent, warm presence that helps vocals cut through a mix without sounding thin or harsh.

While it is specifically engineered for the rigors of live performance, its wide 40Hz to 18kHz frequency response makes it a capable tool for vocal tracking in a home studio, especially if you prefer the robust build of a dynamic mic.

No, the E 855 is a dynamic microphone and does not require phantom power. You can plug it directly into any standard microphone preamp or mixer input.

Like most supercardioid microphones, the E 855 exhibits a pronounced proximity effect when you get very close to the capsule. This can be used to your advantage to add extra body and warmth to your voice.
