"Our new microphones will impress with their good quality and low price," says Michael Polten, Sennheiser's manager for the Music Industry. "As we are offering three variants, every customer will get the right microphone for their requirements."

The e 815 S with noiseless, lockable on/off switch is an ideal choice for vocal or speech applications. It has been specially designed to provide exceptional quality at an affordable price. The e 816 S, also with noiseless on/off switch, features a high output, enabling it to - cut through the mix - even at high stage levels. The e 817 has a very balanced frequency response.
