Compact Allround Microphone Set with Drum Clamp!
If you’ve heard music, you’ve heard the MD 421 – the legendary Sennheiser microphone has been part of countless live shows and award-winning recordings over the last five decades. The MD 421 Compact carries on this legacy – combining the best of the MD 421 and MD 421-II in a space-saving housing that makes the Compact a true allrounder. Like its two big siblings, the MD 421 Compact boasts impressive dynamics and crystal-clear reproduction on stage and in the studio.
Full Sound
The MD 421 Compact packs plenty of German engineering and decades of microphone-building expertise. With exceptional audio quality, the Compact captures every nuance, every detail, every emotion – at any volume and with astonishing transparency. Whether you’re recording complex vocals, overdriven guitar amps, drums, or subtle details from other instruments: the MD 421 Compact delivers every tone with outstanding precision – in the studio and on stage.
Uncolored Instrument Sound
Like no other microphone, the MD 421 Compact reproduces your instrument directly without altering the sound. Its cardioid pattern and wide frequency response ensure the sound is always uncolored and clear; it targets your instrument precisely while offering excellent feedback rejection and diffuse sound attenuation. A bass tube inside the microphone housing also provides incredibly precise, extended low-frequency reproduction, resulting in a rich, balanced sound with high transparency.
Versatile and Tough
The MD 421 Compact adapts effortlessly to any studio or stage situation. Lightweight, compact, rugged, and built to handle the rigors of professional daily use. Everything is designed for reliability: durable components and an internal protective housing that reduces exposure to dust and moisture. Whether on tour or in the studio, you can trust the MD 421 Compact’s longevity and dependability.
Newly Developed Mic Clip
Not only is the housing shape of the MD 421 Compact new, but also the mic clip, which is an integral part of the microphone. This allows secure attachment to any stand or combination with the optional MZH drum clamp – for stable mounting on the drum kit.
Whether on the tom, on a stand in front of a guitar amp, or on other instruments: the sturdy MD 421 Compact stays firmly in place and delivers transparent sound. Like its big siblings, the MD 421 Compact is a must-have in every touring case.
Everything. That’s Exactly What This Microphone Was Made For.
The legendary MD 421 has been used on virtually every instrument – now the MD 421 Compact is ready to do the same. Whether in world-famous studios or on the biggest stages worldwide, the Sennheiser MD 421 is one of the most renowned musician and pro-audio microphones. Professionals worldwide rely on its extraordinary audio quality, versatility, and absolute reliability.
