    MD 421 KOMPAKT - Overview

    Anything. This is the Mic for That.

    If you've heard music, you've heard the MD 421 — a legendary Sennheiser microphone featured in countless award-winning performances and productions over the last five decades. Continuing that legacy, the MD 421 KOMPAKT delivers the same legendary performance as the original MD 421 and MD 421-II but in a truly multipurpose package — including a completely redesigned mounting clip. Just like the originals, MD 421 KOMPAKT features a cardioid pickup pattern and remarkable dynamic range, delivering crystal-clear sound reproduction engineered to handle whatever the creative process requires in live sound and recording applications.

    Full Sonic Brilliance
    Crafted with precision German engineering and decades of audio expertise, MD 421 Kompakt stands as a testament to Sennheiser's unwavering commitment to exceptional sound quality. Capture every nuance, every detail, and every emotion at any sound level with stunning clarity. In the studio or on the stage, the MD 421 Kompakt ensures every sound is reproduced with stunning precision.

    Redesigned Mounting Clip
    Along with its low-profile design, MD 421 Kompakt also features a completely reengineered mounting clip which is securely attached to the microphone itself, ensuring a stable connection to any standard microphone stand. The clip and microphone both offer rugged German engineering to withstand the rigors of touring and heavy studio use while ensuring consistent performance.

    The MD 421 Kompakt is ready for anything as it adapts effortlessly to any recording or live-sound environment. Its smaller form factor is low-profile, lightweight yet rugged, and built to withstand the rigors of professional use.
