Overview
The Sennheiser MD 421 KOMPAKT Microphone is a versatile, durable microphone capable of handling a wide range of studio and live applications. It retains the same cardioid dynamic mic element as the original MD 421, a favorite in the recording and broadcast sectors, but is now housed in a more compact design. This updated version features a new mounting clip for easier positioning, particularly on drum kits, and its smaller size makes it an ideal choice for podcasting. The configuration includes the MZH drum clamp, allowing the microphone to be securely attached to the rims of snares and toms.
