865 is a fully professional vocal microphone

utilising the very best in condenser microphone technology to achieve new standards of quality and sound. An extended dynamic range and a super-smooth frequency response deliver an outstanding signal quality with excellent vocal projection and the lowest possible distortion. The extended high-frequency response combined with the super-cardioid pick-up pattern enables the 865 to handle the highest vocal levels without feedback. The rugged metal construction protects the microphone in the most rigorous conditions. Due to its phantom powering capability, the 865 is especially suitable for use with professional systems. The 865 S variant features a silent ON/OFF switch.

ositioning the microphone

If sibilance or “popping” occurs, position the microphone not directly in front of the mouth but slightly to the side. In order to prevent feedback, position monitor loudspeakers so that they are located in the angle area of the highest cancellation of the microphone. In order to prevent interference due to crosstalk between adjacent sound sources, try to position the microphone so that the interfering sound source is located in the angle area of the highest cancellation of the microphone (approx. 135°; see polar diagram). Position Resulting sound Commentary High proximity effect (much bass/ fundamental) Powerful, direct sound Very little crosstalk from other sound sources Less proximity effect (less bass/fundamental) Some room ambience, natural, balanced sound More crosstalk from other sound sources Very little proximity effect (little bass/ fundamental) More room ambience, indirect sound Much crosstalk from other sound sources
