The e 845
The e 845 is a high-performance lead vocal microphone, specially
designed for rough stage use. Due to its extended high-frequency
response and super-cardioid pick-up pattern, the e 845 ensures vocal
projection through high on-stage sound levels.
The microphone has a smooth, warm tonal response and full dynamic
range. The presence boost ensures vocal clarity and projection.
The balanced frequency response maintains signal quality when
moving on and off axis during performance. The minimal proximity
effect provides for consistently clear bass-end performance when
singing closer to, or further from the microphone, providing greater
on-stage freedom.
The super-cardioid pick-up pattern provides excellent feedback
rejection. The rugged metal construction and internal damping isolates
handling noise.
The e 845 S variant features a silent on/off switch.
Features
• Dynamic super-cardioid microphone for speech and vocals
• Extended high-frequency response
• Consistent sound quality at varying distances or when off axis
• High sound pressure handling capability
• Optional silent on/off switch
• Shock-mounted capsule provides excellent suppression of handling
noise
• Excellent feedback rejection
• Humbucking coil
• Rugged metal body
