The e815S, e816S and e817 provide a range of cost/performance options for vocal microphone applications in the general musician, small PA and sound contractor markets. All three models feature shock-mounted capsules, for low sensitivity to impact and handling noise, hum compensating coils and precise cardioid polar pick-up patterns and high output neodynium ferrous magnets with boron for electronic stability in extreme environmental conditions. The e815S and e816S additionally feature a silent magnetic reed - lockable - on/off switch.
The e815S is a high quality speech and vocal performance microphone. The e816S exhibits similarly quality performance characteristics, but with additional output signal power and HF extension, to provide additional 'cut' in a more complex or difficult sound mix. The e817 takes the design even further, with an exceptionally smooth 80-15kHz frequency response and even higher output signal.
