The Sennheiser E 935 is, if Sennheiser is to be believed, the bigger sibling of the E 835. Sennheiser claims that the E 935 has a very high output, and I, personally, think that the hotter a live vocal microphone, the better! This review will go into the microphone.
The Sennheiser E 935 is a dynamic microphone specifically tailored for live vocal performance. It has a cardioid response pattern, which is pretty standard. What I can write home about however is its frequency response; it is extended from the venerated SM58's 50-15,000 Hz response, to a very, very nice and complete 40-18,000 Hz. What I find particularly nice about the Sennheiser E 935 is the way it flatters vocals. Personally, with a richer voice, the Sennheiser E 935 is very good compared to all of the Shure microphones on my voice, from the SM57, SM58, Beta 57A, and Beta 58A, as even though both Beta microphones do mitigate the midrange muddiness of the SM58, neither do so well as the Sennheiser E 935.
What is especially nice about the Sennheiser E 935 is its hot output. I dislike cranking up the gain of the pre amps in order to get a usable signal out of the less high output microphones like the Shure SM58, as not every venue has a preamp nice enough to do so without introducing very noticeable noise. This is a huge plus, and it is also apparently a big deal to Sennheiser; the slogan for the microphone mentions its high output.
OVERALL OPINION
The Sennheiser E 935 is a little higher output than the E 835, which is already quite a fantastic microphone at the same price as the SM58. This is a little more, on par with the Betas, and it blows them out of the water as a vocal microphone. I am not, however, familiar with using them as workhorse microphones. So if you need a workhorse and can't try any microphones, the Shures are safer bets, but this will surely excel on a voice, especially if it's a richer one.
