Description

General

If there's one Sennheiser microphone that's well-known, it's the MD 421 microphone! The microphones from the MD series have a robust housing and a fine vintage design. Not only the appearance of the microphone is important, but the sound as well. This dynamic microphone has a cardioid pickup pattern and is suitable for both vocals and instruments.

The sound

The microphone has a full, dynamic, and open sound. The cardioid pickup pattern helps to counteract feedback, so you won't experience any issues with this! The frequency response is quite linear from 30 Hz to 17 kHz. The high frequencies are slightly boosted, which benefits intelligibility. The MD 421 is a welcome guest for instrument recordings, but this mic is also popular with presenters and singers!
