Sennheiser MD421-II Dynamic Cardioid Handheld Microphone
The MD421-II from Sennheiser is a cardioid dynamic microphone very popular in the recording and broadcast industry. The MD421-II excels in its ability to handle a variety of applications due to its flexible bass control. The microphone features a 5-position bass switch and a frequency response of 30 to 17kHz. The cardioid polar pattern effectively rejects off-axis noise and provides effective rejection of feedback often caused by closely placed monitors.
The MD421-II features a dynamic capsule, which allows for an even response both up close and at a reasonable distance. This is especially useful for broadcast applications, where broadcasters and DJs may not remain in a fixed position. It also handles very high sound pressure levels, making it suitable for picking up instruments with high transient (peak) response.
