I love this microphone.
4 of 4 found this helpful I am a busy sound guy and regularly performing male-vocalist. I have used a lot of microphones. This one definitely has its place in your mic box.

Why did I buy this microphone? It was next on my list to try. I have tried Shure SM and Beta 58 mics, Audix OM5 and OM7... which leads me to the next question:
- - -
What do I like/dislike about the microphone? First of all, I like all microphones. I like them like my girlfriend likes shoes and my other guitar-playing buddies like stomp boxes. I have a substantial mic kit from really cheap microphones to moderately expensive microphones. But, as a singer, I like the clean presence and pickup pattern this mic offers. It is the mic I use personally on stage as a vocalist. As a sound guy, I like quality, sound and that this mic fills tech riders.
- - -
So how does it compare to others I've tried? Some vocal microphones can start to sound "harsh" at higher volumes in a mix. (especially the cheaper ones) This mic has a presence bump that leaves out the harsher frequencies but is still clear. "Consonants" in lyrics still come through in a loud setting. The amount of proximity effect is natural and predictable.
- - -
One of my other favorites is the Audix OM5, but many singers can't get used to the very tight pickup pattern. I'd still prefer the OM5 on loud stages (as a sound guy) but as a singer, I like the presence and pickup pattern of the e935. Shure SM58? Well, it is a standard, but takes a lot of channel strip tweaking to sound un-harsh at higher levels and tends to pick up too much stage sound for me.
- - -
Let's put it this way: Without telling anybody that I used this microphone instead of my trusty Audix OM5 at my last performance, 4 people (all sound guys) mentioned how clear my vocals sounded without any EQ tweaking on the channel strip. They all wanted to know which mic I was using.
- - -
Two final things:
1. I haven't tried this mic on female vocals yet. Could be great, could be just OK. I have no experience with that yet. Every attentive sound guy is either looking for or has found their favorite female vocal microphone.

2. If you're really wondering about vocal mics, check out Dave Rat's microphone trial video on YouTube--the one where he uses iPod ear buds and pink noise on the microphones. The guy's a genius.
