Signature Sennheiser Sound
From a silky, polished high-end to rich, full-bodied lower mids, the e 965 highlights the true character of every voice. Selectable cardioid and super-cardioid patterns mean you can adapt easily to different stages, whether you're playing an intimate acoustic show or leading a full band on a festival stage.
Sing Longer, Perform Stronger
Thanks to an industry-leading +6 dB gain before feedback, the e 965 lets you sing with less strain compared to other leading microphones. You won’t have to push your voice as hard to cut through the mix, helping you perform longer sets, recover faster, and take on more gigs. It’s not just better sound—it’s a microphone that supports your voice, your stamina, and your career.
Built for Performance Without Limits
A rugged metal chassis, integrated pop and wind protection, excellent handling noise rejection, and high feedback resistance ensure the e 965 is ready for any environment. Low-cut and pre-attenuation switches provide even greater control over your sound, helping you adjust seamlessly to varying stage conditions.
For the Voice That Must Be Heard
Ideal for solo artists, front-of-house performers, and studio-level live productions, the e 965 delivers the kind of vocal performance that captivates and connects. When your voice deserves nothing less than extraordinary, the e 965 delivers.
