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 loud- speakers 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. 120°; see polar diagram).

THREEPACK, E-845S specifications

The Sennheiser E-845S Three-Pack is an exceptional choice for artists and sound engineers who require reliable vocal microphones in a convenient bundle. Known for their robust build quality and outstanding audio performance, the E-845S microphones cater to both live performance and studio recording needs.

These dynamic microphones are designed with a supercardioid pickup pattern, which allows them to capture sound sources directly in front while minimizing background noise from the sides and rear. This feature is especially beneficial in live settings where ambient noise can be intrusive. The E-845S excels in delivering clarity and presence, making it an ideal option for vocalists.

One of the standout characteristics of the E-845S is its frequency response, which spans from 40 Hz to 16 kHz. This broad frequency range ensures that both low and high frequencies are captured effectively, providing vocalists with an accurate representation of their sound. The microphone's tailored frequency response emphasizes vocal clarity and intelligibility, which is crucial for performances.

In addition to its great sound quality, the E-845S is designed for durability. Its sturdy metal construction can withstand the rigors of daily use on stage or in the studio. This resilience makes it a reliable tool for traveling musicians and professionals alike. The built-in pop filter helps reduce plosives, enhancing vocal recordings and performances by minimizing unwanted noise, ensuring that every note and word is articulated clearly.

Another notable feature of the E-845S is its integrated on/off switch, allowing performers to control their microphone at their convenience. This functionality proves practical in situations where the microphone needs to be muted quickly without having to unplug it from the audio system.

The Sennheiser E-845S Three-Pack is perfect for groups of performers, bands, or even as a versatile studio solution. By offering three high-quality microphones in one package, it provides professionals with an excellent value while ensuring they always have a backup on hand. Its blend of sound quality, durability, and user-friendly features makes it a top choice for those seeking professional-grade vocal microphones.
