Legendary MD 421 performance in a compact, versatile design.
The Sennheiser MD 421 Kompakt brings the iconic sound and performance of the MD 421-II into a smaller, more versatile format. Equipped with the same dynamic capsule as its larger counterpart, the MD 421 Kompakt delivers crystal-clear sound reproduction with excellent feedback rejection. Its rugged German engineering ensures it can withstand the demands of touring and heavy studio use, making it perfect for both live and recording environments. Paired with the optional MZH drum clamp, this microphone becomes an essential tool for precise and secure drum miking.

Crystal-Clear Sound Reproduction With High SPL Handling

Featuring the same legendary capsule as the MD 421-II, the MD 421 Kompakt captures incredible fidelity and detail across a wide frequency range. Its ability to handle high sound pressure levels (SPL) makes it ideal for loud sources like drums, guitar amps and brass instruments. Whether on stage or in the studio, this microphone’s precise sound reproduction and rejection of unwanted noise ensure that your source comes through clearly, even in challenging environments.

Redesigned Mounting Clip for Worry-Free Miking

One of the standout features of the MD 421 Kompakt is its redesigned mounting clip, which is securely affixed to the microphone for worry-free stability. The reinforced clip provides reliable mounting for any application, ensuring that the microphone stays securely in place during live performances or studio sessions. When combined with the optional MZH drum clamp, the mic becomes an excellent solution for drum setups, offering a fail-safe mechanism for precise drum miking.

Rugged and Durable for Professional Use

Built with the same rugged German engineering that Sennheiser is known for, the MD 421 Kompakt is designed to withstand the rigors of touring and heavy studio use. Its solid chassis protects the internal components from damage, making it a durable choice for professionals who need reliable gear that performs in any environment.

Multipurpose Design for Any Application

Smaller than the MD 421-II, the MD 421 Kompakt is highly versatile and can be used in a variety of settings. Its cardioid pickup pattern ensures excellent focus on the source, rejecting unwanted sounds and feedback. Whether you're miking drums, guitar amps, vocals, or brass instruments, the MD 421 Kompakt offers the same sound quality and performance as its larger counterpart in a more convenient size.
