Kommentar des Toningenieurs

Tonal Profile

A handheld dual-diaphragm condenser for stage: switchable cardioid/supercardioid, a -10 dB pad, and 142 dB SPL before the pad. It is the loud-stage answer to a KMS 105, with more low-end weight and less top-end air.

Gain Staging Advice

-43.1 dBV/Pa with 21 dB(A) of self-noise is the trade this microphone makes: it is quiet on output and not especially quiet electrically, because it is built to be sung into at two centimetres, not to record a room.

Was im Datenblatt tatsächlich steht

Wörtlich von der Herstellerseite zitiert, mit dem Datum der Prüfung. Wir behaupten das Gedruckte, nicht die Absicht dahinter.

Messbedingungen
«Sensitivity in free field, no load (1kHz) 7.0 mV/Pa (2.3 mV/Pa with preattenuation)»

The e 965 has a mechanical pattern switch between cardioid and supercardioid, and the sheet gives one sensitivity and one noise figure of 21 dB(A) for both. It does name the pad state - 7.0 mV/Pa unattenuated, 2.3 mV/Pa with the -10 dB pre-attenuation - but never the pattern. Sennheiser's own e 914 sheet prints the identical 7.0 mV/Pa for a single fixed cardioid.
