Sennheiser MD 421 Kompakt

Sennheiser MD 421 Compact - The legendary microphone in a new format

Anyone who has listened to music has heard the MD 421 - that's how iconic this microphone from Sennheiser is. With the Sennheiser MD 421 Compact, the manufacturer is now launching a modern version of this classic on the market. It combines the sound characteristics of the MD 421 and MD 421-II with a new, compact design and a revised stand mount. This makes the microphone not only flexible to use, but also ideal for use in professional live and studio environments.

The MD 421 Compact was specially developed for versatile use and impresses with its precise sound reproduction, high dynamics and exceptional robustness. Whether on stage, in the recording room or in mobile applications - this microphone delivers consistent, reliable results and remains steadfast even under difficult conditions.

Sennheiser - German engineering for the highest demands

For decades, the name Sennheiser has stood for audio quality at the highest level. The company from Germany enjoys an excellent reputation worldwide - especially for microphones that are used both in professional recording studios and on the world's biggest stages. The Sennheiser MD 421 Compact continues this tradition. The microphone is another example of Sennheiser's continuous pursuit of perfection in sound, design and technology.

Typical of the manufacturer is the meticulous workmanship: from the housing to the internal construction to the gold-plated XLR contacts - every detail has been developed with durability, fidelity and reliability in mind. The combination of high-quality stainless steel and precise construction ensures consistent performance even under extreme conditions.

Technical details of the Sennheiser MD 421 Compact

The MD 421 Compact is a cardioid dynamic microphone. It was developed to handle even the highest sound pressure levels without distortion. Its wide frequency response from 30 Hz to 17 kHz enables detailed and balanced reproduction from bass to treble.

A key technical feature of the microphone is the newly developed internal bass tube. It ensures particularly precise bass reproduction and gives the sound a rich yet clear structure. The sound remains nuanced and differentiated even at low frequencies.

The new mounting clip is attached directly to the microphone housing and enables stable, uncomplicated attachment to any standard microphone stand. For additional flexibility, the MZH drum clamp can be used as an option, which can be screwed directly to the clip - ideal for miking toms or for use with guitar amplifiers.

The MD 421 Compact is also ideally equipped in terms of environmental resistance: It can be operated at temperatures from -15 °C to +55 °C and can withstand relative humidity of up to 95 %. The inner protective housing offers additional protection against dust and moisture, thus supporting the microphone's longevity.

Recommended purchase - Why the MD 421 Compact is the right choice

The Sennheiser MD 421 Compact offers the perfect combination of classic sound quality, modern design and high functionality. It was developed for professionals who need a reliable microphone for a wide range of applications - whether in the studio, on tour or at live performances.

The compact size makes it easy to transport and place in confined spaces without compromising on sound quality. Thanks to its robust construction and high-quality connection, it is a microphone you can rely on at all times.
