what would this mic plug into? special type of speaker?

I just purchased the SennheiserE835 Mic. It came with a 20 foot cable, with 3 prong male end and a 3 hole female end. I am not trained nor experienced with audio equipment so forgive me when I ask this, but...My mic will not fit into any plug on my "Acoustic" brand acoustic amp. Nor will it attach to my Crate acoustic amp. I understand that some other questions asked similar inquiries. Is there a special, "XLR-type" female to male adapter I need? Or, did I buy the wrong microphone for vocals? Or, do I have inappropriate amps for singing while playing acoustic/electric guitar music? Please, help. Thanks.

These guys work on toms?

If you are referring to tom tom drums then I don't see why not. They work really well for vocals both during performance and recording.

what is the diferance between a condenser an dynamic mic im looking to do live broadcasts?

Benedito C.'s answer is almost ideal, in that it explains that you'll get more bass and less ambient noise with a dynamic, but it doesn't mention that 48V phantom power can also be used to give dynamic mics a huge output boost via an inline preamp like a fet-head or Cloudlifter CL-1 (or just a good mixer or audio interface pre-amp). He also talks about ambient noise being lost with a dynamic, but doesn't explain why that can be a great thing or a bad thing; if you are recording a whole room full of people speaking, you might want that ambient sound, but if you are in a bedroom, living room, or other less than ideal place and wish to only record a single singer, without catching every footstep or car engine for hundreds of feet, dynamic's ambience rejection can be a big help. On the other hand, if you are recording sounds of a forest, be sure to use a condenser. It's these real-world examples that I hope make it easy to understand how these differences will impact you. If you have a studio covered in sound-proofing, you are much safer with a condenser than someone with hardwood floors who will end up dealing with echoes and sound reflections. Lastly, you can make a dynamic sound similar to a condenser, and vice versa if you are good with an equalizer, but it's probably best to start with what you're looking for and not compensate with equalization, if at all possible. Try a few mics out in a music store and see what you like, or search for shoot-out videos comparing an SM58 (dynamic) with a condenser, to get an idea of the difference in sound with song, singer, etc all the same.

I wonder if he has is original and has the stamp of originality.

An update to this question based on my experience with the Sennheiser E865 purchased here on Amazon: Mine had the original stamps and markings including the holographics, however Amazon marketplace is not an official distributor so Sennheiser will NOT honor warranty for products purchased through Amazon.

Fantastic Upgrade for Virtual Meetings

I purchased the Sennheiser e835 to enhance my audio quality for virtual meetings, and it has been a game-changer. A colleague make the recommendation. Paired with a boom arm, this microphone delivers clear, natural, and professional-sounding audio that is miles ahead of built-in laptop mics or even standard USB options. The cardioid pickup pattern does an excellent job of focusing on my voice while minimizing background noise, making it ideal for home office environments. The build quality is solid and durable, and the sound profile has a warm, rich tone that enhances speech clarity. If you're looking to level up your virtual presence with broadcast-quality audio, this mic is a fantastic choice. Highly recommend!

True audio representation

True sound representation. Pretty good for plosives but not perfect. Worked for my purposes. I had a podcast event that didn’t want any wireless so I got these for all my interviews. Went great.

Great quality for the price!

A huge step up from the Shure SM 48! Will not be going back. If you need an affordable microphone, this is an excellent choice for vocals/live performance I am now a Sennheiser fan🙌🏻

Es mi segundo microfono de esta misma serie y marca. Amo mi microfono. El sonido de mi voz se amplifica de forma clara y limpia. Mi primer microfono esta intacto y lleva conmigo unos 12 años y sigue perfecto. Compré el segundo por otro proyecto personal. Esta marca es la mejor en cuanto a duración y fidelidad de la voz.

Is it worth it, yes it's worth it

The quality of the microphone is fairly Robust and should be able to take some drops and abuse, but the carvin is More robust and around 40 years old still ticking, sound quality is higher pitched and more sensitive to voice pickup and feedback. I actually like the sound of all the mics I have. One thing for sure in the future I won't be buying microphone's I will be replacing the cartridge with something better. This mic has a nice well rounded sound, I also compared this with a sure beta 57a I bought and I have used my buddies sure sm58. I would say this mic fit's in between these other mic's Nice clean sound. Now I just have to pick up one of them caral mics I have hearing about

Muy contento con mi compra. En la facultad de música donde trabajo, los micrófonos que mas se usan son los SM 58 y los Beta 57. Este micrófono me gusta mas que el SM 58, y respecto al Beta 57, se van dando bastante. Definitivamente compraré un par mas.
