Sennheiser 004511 E825-S Handheld Cardioid Dynamic Microphone

The Sennheiser E825-S is a handheld cardioid dynamic microphone engineered for vocals and general-purpose instrument miking in live sound environments. Its cardioid pickup pattern focuses on sound arriving from the front of the capsule while rejecting noise and feedback from the sides and rear, making it particularly effective on noisy stages and in small club settings. The all-metal body provides durability that stands up to the demands of touring and frequent use, while internal damping elements isolate the capsule from handling vibrations to keep the signal clean even during energetic performances.

A key feature of the E825-S is its built-in silent on/off switch, which allows performers and presenters to mute the microphone without generating audible pops or clicks through the PA system. The microphone connects via a standard 3-pin XLR output, ensuring compatibility with the vast majority of professional audio equipment. With a warm, balanced frequency response and Sennheiser's reputation for quality at an accessible price, the E825-S serves as a dependable workhorse for vocalists, public speakers, karaoke hosts, and anyone needing a straightforward dynamic microphone for amplified sound.
