The 835, 845 and 865 vocal microphone capsules are all great options and vary depending on your needs. While the 835 is ideal for most stages and features a cardioid polar pattern that rejects unwanted stage noise from the sides and rear, the 845 features a super-cardioid polar pattern that offers even more rejection and isolation for your vocal performance. The 865 introduces a condenser super-cardioid capsule, offering more sensitivity and clarity than a traditional dynamic capsule like the 835 or 845.
