Sennheiser MD 421 II Cardioid Dynamic Mic

THE LEGENDARY DRUM & GUITAR MIC: For over 35 years the MD 421 has been a studio first choice on toms, snares, guitar cabs, and brass, prized for full-bodied tone that needs little EQ. LARGE DIAPHRAGM, HIGH SPL: A large-diaphragm dynamic element handles roaring guitar amps and hard-hit drums without breaking up, capturing the punch and weight of loud sources. FIVE-POSITION BASS ROLL-OFF: A five-step low-frequency contour switch tames proximity effect and boomy rooms, letting you dial in the exact low end for kick, toms, bass cabs, or voiceover. PRONOUNCED DIRECTIVITY: A clean cardioid pattern with strong rear rejection makes the MD 421-II easy to place on tight drum kits and crowded brass sections without spill. BROADCAST-READY VERSATILITY: Equally at home on group vocals, talk-show panels, and dialogue, the MD 421-II is a true workhorse. Standard XLR connection to any pro preamp.
