The wireless mic is for my wife. I'm thinking the capsule is similar to an 835.

The 935 wired is for me. I considered a 945 but super cardiod is too tight a pattern for me. I move too much. And truth be known, I don't think there is a huge difference in sound, if any, 935 to 945.

I'm a recent Sennheiser convert, and I have the 835s, 935, and 945.
Here's my thoughts:
I use the 835s for guests, because I like the on/off switch to silence the mic when no one is with me on stage. It's a nice mic, but lacks a little high end response.
I use the 935 with my 4 pc band, because I play guitar with that ensemble, and I move my hear alot to look at members, dancers, and my strings! (yikes)
The 935 is just a touch warmer and fuller than the 945, which I use in my solo rig to reject the sound of the speakers from my PA900.
For years I was very happy with EV 767's and 767a's, but after getting used to the cleaner mids of the Sennheiser, I keep the EVs in my mic locker most of the time. With identical EQ settings, the EV now sounds like it has a sock over it to me.

About 5 years ago give or take our friend and occasional SZ member turned professional photographer Mikey Maestro sold me on the e935, been using it ever since! Great mic for sure!

I purchased an E-855 mic several years ago. Probably the best hand-held mic I've ever owned. Since then, I went to Crown CM-311A headset mic and never looked back. No more hand helds for me.

Good luck,

Gary cool

hmmmm ... the model number on my mic - which I said was an e835 - has been worn off, but it does not have an on/off switch, so I'm thinking it might be the e855 ... either way, I love it ...

No on/off switch on the 855 Tony.

Gary ... Thanks for the confirmation that my mic is the e855 - not the e835 wink

Unless there's an "S" after the model number, it won't have a switch. The 835 was a huge seller, and it's more probable that you have that one. The 855 has been discontinued, for some time, now. The bargain mic is the 835, and the better buy, and popular choice for my sound tech in NY is the 935.

Finally got this figured out, I think. The cheaper mic has fewer useable channels and is a line of sight mic....the transmitter can't get too far away from the receiver.

The EW 100 series is radio frequency with more useable channels and no line of sight issues. I got quite a deal on the E935 and EW 100 series so glad I went with the EW series. The EW 100 series is an 835 capsule but the capsule can be replaced.
