Sennheiser E 965

I love this - it is a warm and smooth sounding mic, with a round classic sounding touch to it.
I am using it for my live performances - and I track these performances for evaluation purposes. I find it is very clear, and it also seem to forgive my moving around and my not-always-perfect mic techniques quite nicely.
EQ wise I boost +4db with a high shelf, and cuts with a low shelf -4db around 1 Khz (and a low cut around 90hz), and it fits my voice very good.

Only negative comment is that the capsule is internally connected via a flat molex-type ribbon cable, and the contact is made only by the pressure of the springload of the connector. Over the years changes in temperature and humidity has caused my previous e965 to fail on my during a live performance. If only it was a pin-connection instead...(i wish) . I fixed this failure by disableming, cleaning this connector, and reconnecting. - Don't know about the attentuation, pattern or lowcust switches, since I have had no failures from these.
