865 / 865 S
The 865 is a fully professional vocal microphone
utilising the very best in condenser microphone
technology to achieve new standards of quality and
sound. An extended dynamic range and a super-smooth
frequency response deliver an outstanding signal quality
with excellent vocal projection and the lowest possible
distortion. The extended high-frequency response
combined with the super-cardioid pick-up pattern
enables the 865 to handle the highest vocal levels
without feedback.
The rugged metal construction protects the microphone
in the most rigorous conditions.
Due to its phantom powering capability, the 865 is
especially suitable for use with professional systems.
The 865 S variant features a silent
ON/OFF switch .

ositioning the microphone
If sibilance or “popping” occurs, position the microphone
not directly in front of the mouth but slightly to the side.
In order to prevent feedback, position monitor
loudspeakersso thatthey arelocatedin theanglearea of
the highest cancellation of the microphone.
In order to prevent interference due to crosstalk between
adjacentsoundsources,trytopositionthemicrophoneso
that the interfering sound source is located in the angle
area of the highest cancellation of the microphone
(approx. 135°; see polar diagram).
Position Resulting sound Commentary
