Microphone of The Week: Sennheiser MD421

The MD 421 has been one of Sennheiser's most popular dynamic mics for over 35 years. The large diaphragm, dynamic element handles high sound pressure levels, making it a natural for recording guitars and drums. The MD 421's full-bodied cardioid pattern, and five-position bass control make it an excellent choice for most instruments. This is without a doubt, the most popular tom mic in the world.
