This classic dynamic cardioid microphone continues the tradition of the original MD421, a popular favorite for years. It offers warm reproduction of lows and outstanding high-end with a frequency response of 30 Hz to 17 kHz. Besides the very rugged Sennheiser construction, the MD421II features a five-position bass roll-off switch and cardioid pickup pattern. This mic is a broadcast favorite but is also a natural in the recording studio for guitars, drums, and other sources that require a high-SPL dynamic mic with excellent reproduction characteristics. A stand clamp is also included. The shockmount is sold separately.
