Essential Information About the Sennheiser MD 421 KOMPAKT Microphone

  • The legendary sound of the MD 421/MD 421-II in a versatile "KOMPAKT" format
  • Cardioid directivity for excellent source isolation and better feedback control
  • High clarity and remarkable dynamic range for recording and sound reinforcement
  • Completely redesigned mounting clip and robust XLR-3 connectivity

An Heir to a Studio and Stage Icon

For over five decades, the Sennheiser MD 421 has shaped countless award-winning recordings and performances. The "MD 421 KOMPAKT" continues this legacy by capturing the sonic DNA of the original models while adapting it to current uses. More manageable and designed for versatility, it retains the clear and precise signature that has made this reference a must-have.

Who Is It For and What Are Its Uses?

Designed for sound engineers, studios, content creators, and live service providers, the MD 421 KOMPAKT excels wherever the source must remain front and center. Its cardioid directivity helps control ambient noise both on stage and in the booth, while its high-level tolerance makes it a reliable choice for demanding captures, from vocals to instruments, in both recording and broadcast.

KOMPAKT Design and Technical Advantages

Effective Cardioid Directivity

The cardioid pattern naturally rejects off-axis sounds. The result: a better-defined source, less bleed, and faster mixing, whether front-of-house or in the studio.

Clarity and Dynamics

The frequency response from 30 to 17,000 Hz, combined with a carefully calibrated sensitivity, delivers detailed and balanced reproduction, with the impact and intelligibility expected from an MD 421.

Secure and Smooth Mounting

Its newly redesigned mounting clip secures positioning and speeds up stage changes. Compact and lightweight, the microphone is easy to handle without tiring the mic stand.

Professional Connectivity

The XLR-3 connector ensures immediate integration into modern audio chains, both in the studio and on tour.
