High SPL Handling Capability
The Sennheiser MD 421 Kompakt is engineered to handle extreme sound pressure levels without distortion, perfect for capturing loud sources like drum toms and guitar cabinets.
KEY FEATURES
The Sennheiser MD 421 Kompakt Dynamic Instrument Microphone with Drum Mount is a compact, German-engineered rework of the legendary MD 421, designed for high sound pressure level handling, robust performance, and precision capture of instruments and vocals.
Compact Dynamic Design
The MD 421 Kompakt provides the same sound signature as the original MD 421 series but in a smaller housing optimised for close placement on drums, amplifiers, and instruments. Its dynamic capsule offers a wide frequency response, fast transient handling, and the ability to manage extreme SPL without distortion, making it ideal for loud sources such as toms and guitar cabinets.
Customisable Mounting Options
The microphone includes a redesigned mounting clip that secures tightly to a stand or drum mount, eliminating the risk of slippage during live or studio use. The bundle allows selection of one to five microphones with matching mounts, providing a tailored solution for multi-mic setups across drum kits or ensemble recording.
Professional Audio Capture
Engineered for clarity, the MD 421 Kompakt maintains a consistent cardioid polar pattern that isolates the source and minimises bleed from surrounding instruments. This directional focus ensures accurate sound capture in complex environments such as live stages or tight studio spaces.
Built for Reliability
Manufactured in Germany, the unit withstands the demands of touring and long-term studio work. Its rugged casing resists wear, while its precision-built capsule guarantees years of dependable use for engineers requiring both performance and durability.
