Sennheiser
MME 865
Handheld condenser · Supercardioid · 40–20,000 Hz
- A condenser capsule for wireless handhelds — the transmitter supplies the polarising voltage, so there is no phantom to forget.
- 92 g, the lightest capsule in the Sennheiser range, and it reaches 20 kHz where the dynamic heads stop at 16.
Frequency response
No response curve yet.
MicSense only draws a curve traced from a graph the manufacturer actually publishes — it never estimates one from the microphone’s class. Sennheiser publishes figures for the MME 865 but no response graph, so the numbers are in the spec table below and the chart stays empty.
Polar pattern
Generated from the first-order directivity formula for supercardioid. It illustrates the pattern type — it is not a measurement of this individual model.

What it gets used for
- Wireless handheld capsule
- FOH vocal
MicSense tags microphones by the job on a live stage, not by studio category — so you can filter for “kick in” or “monitor vocal” instead of working backwards from “large-diaphragm condenser”.
Compare it against the alternatives.
MicSense lets you put up to four microphones side by side — spec table, overlaid response curves and polar diagrams on one screen. Free with a free Squaresmile account.
