Live sound at the highest level.

The advantages of high-end studio and stage microphones come together in the e 965: high-resolution, nuanced sound combined with excellent omnidirectional resistance and an extremely robust design. The flagship of the evolution series is a true large-diaphragm condenser microphone, developed for professional stage use.

The balanced sound is characterized by clarity and finesse - the treble has a silky sheen, while the lower midrange is warm and well-balanced. e 965 reacts extremely quickly and reproduces even the finest nuances with impressive detail. The pickup character can be adjusted to suit the stage conditions, switching between a soft kidney and a more directional super-kidney.

This top-of-the-range model leaves nothing to be desired - whether in terms of sound, durability or handling.
