Product details
The Sennheiser MD 421 compact dynamic microphone offers the legendary performance of the classic MD 421 in a more compact housing with dimensions of 122 x 49 x 84 mm and a weight of 159 g. This instrument microphone features a cardioid pickup pattern, an exceptional dynamic range, and high sound pressure level handling, making it particularly suitable for recording drums and other loud sound sources. With a frequency response of 30 Hz to 17 kHz and an impedance of 250 ohms, it delivers reliable performance in professional and project studio environments. The compact design reduces the risk of accidental contact with drumsticks during recording sessions. This version includes a redesigned integrated microphone clip for improved stability and security, as well as an additional MZW drum clamp specifically for mounting on tom-toms or snare drums. The MD 421 has been a standard choice for percussion applications for decades, known for its consistent performance and robust construction. The black finish maintains the professional appearance expected from Sennheiser products. The combination of compact dimensions and professional audio performance makes this microphone versatile for various recording and live sound applications where space constraints or mounting flexibility are important.
