The Sennheiser E 945 is a microphone that sits at the top of this range of microphones. In a nutshell, this microphone probably is the best of them. Read on to find out why, everyone!

The Sennheiser E 945 is a dynamic handheld microphone designed for use with live vocals. The wonderful thing about the E 945 is that it has a supercardioid pattern, which, to be fair, is not so terribly rare these days, but it is worth mentioning because I personally prefer using supercardioid microphones to cardioid microphones for their rejection characteristics. Also note that this means that the microphone is no good for group vocals at all, because of how narrow their pattern is. You may be thinking, "These types of microphones are not designed for that anyway!" and you may be correct, but it does not stop them from being used in these ways anyway. The SM57, for example, can work on group vocals quite well when needed.

The Sennheiser has a nice frequency response of 40-18,000 Hz, which is typical in this line of microphones, and superior in this range compared to the other brands' competitors for the most part.

The microphone is also advertised to give more gain before feedback, and when testing this, I can confirm this is actually quite true, so if this is an issue, this microphone is one to consider!

OVERALL OPINION

The Sennheiser E 945 is a wonderful microphone for the price. Sure, it may be more expensive than the industry standards, but there is a tangible reason for it. The industry standards are workhorses, but vocal microphones are specialist microphones, and thus, I have only tested it on vocals. I am not sure whether these will fill a workhorse role as well as the venerable Shure models, but it cannot hurt to give it a shot if you really need a vocal microphone anyway!
