Sennheiser MD 421 KOMPAKT Multipurpose Dynamic Cardioid Microphone....
Product Overview
The Sennheiser MD 421 KOMPAKT (SKU 700587) is a multipurpose dynamic cardioid microphone designed for instrument miking, broadcast, live sound, and studio recording applications. A compact, updated form of the legendary MD 421 platform, it delivers the characteristic full-frequency response and controlled cardioid pickup of the MD 421 lineage in a smaller, lighter body suited for drum miking, guitar amp, brass, woodwind, and vocal applications. Includes the MD 421 KOMPAKT microphone and a carry pouch.
Product Description
The MD 421 KOMPAKT maintains the core acoustic character of the MD 421 — a wide frequency response, controlled cardioid polar pattern with excellent off-axis rejection, and the ability to handle high SPL sources without distortion — in a more compact package suited for close-miking instruments, broadcast production, and live sound reinforcement applications. The dynamic transducer requires no phantom power, making it compatible with any standard microphone input. The carry pouch provides storage and transport protection. The MD 421 KOMPAKT with drum clamp bundle (SKU 700589) is also available for percussive instrument applications.
Key Features
- Dynamic Cardioid Transducer — No phantom power required; handles high-SPL instrument sources.
- Wide Frequency Response — Full-range reproduction for instruments, broadcast voice, and live sound.
- Controlled Cardioid Pattern — Strong off-axis rejection for isolation in multi-instrument recording and live sound environments.
- Compact Form Factor — Lighter and smaller than the full-size MD 421 for easier placement on drum kits and instrument amps.
- Includes Carry Pouch — For storage and transport.
Typical Applications
- Drum kit close-miking (kick, snare, tom)
- Guitar and bass amplifier miking
- Broadcast studio instrument and voice
- Brass and woodwind instrument live sound
- House of worship instrument stage miking
