designed for rough stage use. Due to its extended high-frequency response and super-cardioid pick-up pattern, the e 845 ensures vocal projection through high on-stage sound levels. The microphone has a smooth, warm tonal response and full dynamic range. The presence boost ensures vocal clarity and projection. The balanced frequency response maintains signal quality when moving on and off axis during performance. The minimal proximity effect provides for consistently clear bass-end performance when singing closer to, or further from the microphone, providing greater on-stage freedom. The super-cardioid pick-up pattern provides excellent feedback rejection. The rugged metal construction and internal damping isolates handling noise. The e 845 S variant features a silent on/off switch. Features • Dynamic super-cardioid microphone for speech and vocals • Extended high-frequency response • Consistent sound quality at varying distances or when off axis • High sound pressure handling capability • Optional silent on/off switch • Shock-mounted capsule provides excellent suppression of handling noise • Excellent feedback rejection • Humbucking coil • Rugged metal body Package contents 1 e 845 / e 845 S microphone 1 MZQ 800 microphone clamp 1 pouch 1 instruction manual Product overview A * 1 Sound inlet basket 2 XLR-3 connector 3 On/off switch (e 845 S only) 4 Screw (e 845 S only) Diagrams can be found on the cover pages. *
