In this week’s episode we compare several microphones from the Sennheiser evolution lineup. These mics aren’t new releases, but they are new to us and we want to see how they perform in dialogue recording and podcasting/livestreaming setups. We’ll listen to samples from the e835, e935, e945, and e965 before discussing the similarities and differences we found between them. Let’s take a closer look and listen!

If you’d like to learn how to make great dialogue audio for your film and video projects, please have a look at my courses including processing dialogue audio in Adobe Audition and DaVinci Resolve/Fairlight, recording sound, how to use the Zoom F4, F6, F8, and F8n, and how to get the most from the Sound Devices MixPre series of recorders. Our latest courses cover Sound for Live Streaming with the ATEM Mini and an Intro to Izotope RX. See our school website for more info!
