Specifications

Connector Assignment

The Sennheiser e 935 uses an XLR-3 connector. The standard pin assignment for balanced audio is:

• Pin 1: Ground
• Pin 2: Hot (+)
• Pin 3: Cold (-)

The document also shows diagrams for unbalanced and balanced connections using 6.3 mm (1/4 inch) jacks, illustrating how the XLR signals are mapped to Tip, Ring, and Sleeve.

Performance Data

Polar Pattern

The polar pattern shows a cardioid pickup, meaning it is most sensitive to sound from the front (0 degrees) and less sensitive to sounds from the sides and rear. The diagram illustrates sensitivity levels across a 360-degree range.

Frequency Response

The frequency response graph indicates the microphone's sensitivity across different frequencies, from 40 Hz to 18,000 Hz. It shows a relatively flat response in the mid-range frequencies crucial for vocals, with some shaping for clarity and presence.
