Sound quality
First of, it works perfectly for both female and male performers as it is not picky about voice depth. Having a cardioid pattern, it expectedly delivers more natural sound than its supercardioid e945 version. The feature that really stands out is the level of feedback rejection. That means you can use e935 in real loud applications, like live rock concert (of moderate size). This is a reliable thing for regular parties, events and good old. If you don’t care the bleed (you are the lead vocalist) this hardware works fo you. All that despite high sensitivity of 2,8mV/Pa = -51dB for a dynamic mic.
When it comes to frequencies, this mic offers a well-crafted frequency pattern. Overall, you don’t get hit with sudden bumps, it transits gently from bass cut off to reasonable presence boost. At all frequencies, there is an optimal balance of brightness. That helps you to nail live performances as your voice easily cuts through other instruments, minus the harshness of a condenser forced to work on a stage. On the opposite, e935 sounds rather smooth, despite saving a great amount of detail and clarity. Lots of mics would sound messy compared to this performance.
I mentioned the feedback resistance, but the humbucking coil also ensures cancellation of interference. The shock-resistant capsule mounting is good for the sound as well since it minimizes the handling noise.
