Frequently Asked Questions
Does the e 935 require phantom power to operate?
No. The e 935 is a dynamic microphone and requires no phantom power. It draws nothing from the preamp and can be used with any XLR-equipped console, interface, or PA head without phantom power concerns.
How does the e 935's frequency response hold up at high SPLs during loud stage performances?
The e 935 is built for high-SPL environments. The neodymium iron boron magnet assembly maintains stable output under loud sources without the saturation you'd get from a less robust dynamic capsule — it handles screaming vocalists and loud monitoring without distorting.
How does the cardioid polar pattern of the e 935 compare to tighter supercardioid patterns for stage use?
The cardioid pattern offers a wider pickup angle than supercardioid, which means slightly less rear rejection but more forgiving microphone technique for performers who move around. For most live vocal applications this is the right trade-off. If you need maximum isolation in an extremely loud monitor environment, a supercardioid like the e 945 may serve better.
Is the e 935 suitable for recording vocals in a project studio as well as live use?
Yes, though it's optimized for live performance. In a studio context it captures a clean, present vocal signal with minimal coloration — practical for tracking when you want a no-fuss dynamic with a known sound. It won't replace a large-diaphragm condenser for nuanced studio work, but it's a reliable utility mic for sessions.
What's the nominal impedance, and will it work with budget interfaces that have lower-quality preamps?
The e 935 presents a nominal impedance of 350 ohms and a sensitivity of 2.8 mV/Pa (-51 dBV). It's reasonably sensitive for a dynamic and will work with most budget interfaces, though lower-quality preamps may need to be pushed higher to achieve optimal gain structure.
