The Sennheiser e 945 is a handheld dynamic vocal microphone, designed primarily for live performance. It features a super-cardioid polar pattern, that offers excellent off-axis rejection, and provides a consistent superior sound reproduction for vocals. $299 RRP.
Sounds like a good deal.
This looks good.
I want this but don't want to spend so much. Just need a decent Mic for irregular use. Any suggestions?
What are you using it for?
Occasional voice overs for videos on the PC.
Ahh k, You're going to have trouble finding much cheaper and still get good quality.
Unless you have an audio interface already, you'd probably want something like a Yeti USB microphone for that. You can go the Snowball($80-90), it sounds great but it has no aux output. I'd personally suggest something with an AUX output on the device to minimise delay, or else you'll drive yourself crazy with it. The Yeti Nano is probably a better bet, it has the output, around the $130-150 it tends to sit.
If you have the audio interface already, something like a Sennheiser e835 (about $90-100) is about the lowest I'd go, or you'll start to seriously compromise on sound quality, and it will sound pretty yuck.
Looks like this has expired.
Nice post and great price.
I've been using this mic for live performances for the last 9 years. Great build quality and in my personal opinion, better than the Shure mics. Definitely recomend if you're looking for a high quality vocal mic!
