The Sennheiser E825S is multi-purpose microphone ideal for live speeches and stage use. The E825S dynamic cardioid microphone has been designed for speech and vocals. With a frequency response suited perfectly for voice, it produces a sound that projects well and cuts through high volumes, whether on stage, a lecture hall, outdoors, or any live event. The E825S includes a switch that can toggle the microphone on/off. This is a benefit for a number of reasons: It will eliminate any unwanted broadcasts, when switching users for example. As the audio can be muted from the mic, the user has complete control, not just the mixer operator which in some circumstances can be more convenient. The switch is also noiseless, meaning no pops or clicks when transitioning between on & off. Key features: Excellent feedback rejection Handles high sound pressure levels Cardioid pick-up pattern provides isolation from other on-stage signals Shock-mounted capsule provides excellent suppression of handling noise
