Sennheiser e 935
Dynamic, cardioid, handheld vocal stage mic with hum-compensating coil
Power None: a dynamic mic needs no power. Low output: it needs a lot of preamp gain.
- Type
- Dynamic
- Pattern
- Cardioid
- Sensitivity
- −51.1 dBV/Pa
- Among 78 dynamics: more output than 84%
- Among 311 mics: more output than 29%
- Rated range
- 40 – 18k Hz
vs 25 handheld dynamics
More output than 75% of 25 handheld dynamics.
Each stripe is one handheld dynamic with a published sensitivity, and each bar counts them; further right means more output. This mic is in blue.
Proximity effect: the bass it gains up close
From the spec sheet, p. 2.
Titled "Frequency response", "0°, 1 m"; drawn as absolute sensitivity (dBV). Room and smoothing not stated.
The manufacturer draws absolute sensitivity (dBV/Pa); shifted here by a constant so 1 kHz is near 0 dB.
Dashed: outside the rated range, or simulated (other angles and distances). Hover or tap the graphs for values.
Polar pattern
From the spec sheet, p. 2.
Titled "Polar pattern". Each frequency is drawn on one side only (125 to 1000 Hz left, 2000 to 16000 Hz right); the pattern is taken as symmetric. Measuring conditions not stated.
In practice

|---|---|---|
| Sensitivity | −51.1 dBV/Pa (2.8 mV/Pa)free field, no load, 1 kHz. "2.8 mV/Pa"; converted. The 2009 product sheet states "2.8 mV/Pa at 1 kHz = -51 dB (0 dB = 1V/Pa)"; the 2006 manual gives "± 3 dB". | p. 1 |
| Output impedance | 350 ohmnominal, 1 kHz | |
| Rated load impedance | 1000 ohmminimum. "Min. terminating impedance 1 kΩ". | |
| Rated frequency range | 40 Hz to 18 kHz | |
| Connector | XLR-3 | |
| Weight | 355 galso 330, 2009 product sheet. The 2006 manual (p. 6) also says 355 g; the 2009 product sheet says "330 g (11.64 oz)". | |
| Dimensions | 47 × 181 mmThe text says "⌀ 47 x 151 mm", a misprint: the drawing on page 2 gives 181 mm (7.13"), as do the 2006 manual ("length: 181 mm", p. 6) and the 2009 product sheet ("47 x 181 mm"). Diameter 47 mm (46.6 mm in the drawing and the manual). | |
| Supplied accessories | MZQ 800 microphone clamp; pouch | |
| Construction | Metal body, shock-mounted capsule, hum compensating coil, neodymium ferrous magnet with boron, "Falcon ring" | |
| Optional accessories | MZW 4032-A foam windshield, anthracite (002978); MZW 4032-C foam windshield, blue (002980) | |
