Sennheiser MD 421 II Dynamic Instrument and Vocal Microphone Overview

The Sennheiser MD 421 II Dynamic Instrument and Vocal Microphone is an extremely versatile microphone for recording and live sound. An industry choice for professional recording studios and live miking sources alike, the MD 421 II can handle a wide range of sources - guitars, drums, vocals, amps, and acoustic instruments. A proven favourite seen in the microphone lockers of legendary studios like Abbey Road and Sunset Sound, as well as a go-to pick for famed producers like Andrew Scheps and Sylvia Massy, the MD 421 II offers consistent, professional sound.

The MD 421 II's balanced and detailed sound is enhanced by its cardioid directivity which keeps the focus on the source directly in front of it, reducing ambient noise in any recording location. Its five-position bass roll-off gives you the ability to control low-frequencies and prevent muddiness or create a space in the frequency spectrum for bass instruments. Easy to use, with a rich, versatile sound, and plenty of headroom for loud sound sources, the MD 421 II is a workhorse for any audio context.
