The e 835
Thee835isacardioidleadvocalstagemicrophonespeciallydesigned
toperformunderpressure.
Cardioidisthemostcommonlyusedpick-uppatternforlivePA
applications.Itprovidesgoodon-stagefreedomandalsopicksup
soundfromthesides.The“dead”sideisattherear.Thispatternis
goodforpickingupseveralvocalistsatonce,e.g.achoirorensemble.
Thee835’sbalancedfrequencyresponsemaintainssignalquality
whenmovingonandoffaxisduringperformance.Thegentlepresence
boostensuresvocalclarityandprojection.Theminimalproximity
effectprovidesforconsistentlyclearbass-endperformancewhensing-
ingcloserto,orfurtherfromthemicrophone.
Thecardioidpick-uppatternprovidesexcellentfeedbackrejection,
enablingthemicrophonetohandlehighersoundpressurelevels.The
ruggedmetalconstructionandinternaldampingisolateshandling
noise.
Thee835Svariantfeaturesasilenton/offswitch.
