What are good alternatives to the Sennheiser e945 vocal microphone?

Published · Last updated

Answered by Roadie

The Shure Beta 58A, Sennheiser e935 and Shure SM58 are worth comparing with the Sennheiser e945. Try them with your own voice and PA setup: the best choice is the one that suits your singing, not simply the price tag.

The Sennheiser e945 has a supplied best new price of £167. The Shure Beta 58A at £161 and Sennheiser e935 at £169 are close enough in cost to make a useful shortlist without stretching your budget much either way.

The Shure SM58 is another dynamic vocal microphone to consider. Its supplied price is €129, so don’t treat that as a direct saving against the pound-priced options without checking currency conversion and delivery costs.

If you can, compare them at similar listening levels through the setup you actually use. Listen for clear words, a flattering vocal sound and how much level you can get before feedback. For second-hand options, the Used vocal microphones list is a sensible place to broaden your search.
