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, 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.

MD 421 Kompakt’s redesigned mounting clip can be combined with the optional MZH Drum Clamp to ensure a stable connection and fail-safe mechanism for any miking situation.

Crafted with precise German engineering and decades of audio expertise, MD 421 Kompakt captures every nuance, every detail, and every emotion at any sound level with stunning clarity. Whether you‘re recording the complexities of vocals, the thunderous roar of drums and guitar cabs, or the intricate details of instruments, MD 421 Kompakt ensures every sound is reproduced with remarkable precision — in the studio or on the stage.
