Sennheiser E 845-S Handheld Vocal Microphone with On/Off Switch (Supercardioid Dynamic)

Supercardioid dynamic vocal microphone with integrated on/off switch for controlled performance miking

The Sennheiser E 845-S is the switched version of the E 845 supercardioid dynamic vocal microphone, combining the E 845's tight pickup pattern and superior feedback rejection with an integrated on/off switch for performer-controlled muting. This combination is designed for applications where both high gain-before-feedback and direct microphone control are needed simultaneously.

The supercardioid pattern makes the E 845-S particularly effective in worship services, corporate events, and multi-presenter conferences where several microphones may be open at once and stage monitor levels are challenging. The on/off switch allows non-technical users to manage their own microphone status without relying on a sound engineer, while the tighter pickup pattern provides a safety margin against feedback that cardioid switched microphones cannot match.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I choose the E 845-S or the E 835-S?

Choose the E 845-S when feedback and stage bleed are primary concerns — its supercardioid pattern provides more rejection. Choose the E 835-S (cardioid) for general-purpose use where the wider pickup is more forgiving of microphone positioning.

Can the switch be locked?

The switch does not have a locking mechanism but is designed to resist accidental toggling during normal handling.
