Good sound quality.

PRO

I place this mic in front of the guitar can, and it delivers a clear, bright tone. Gets the job done without any problem.

I have many microphones in my collection and this one adds to it's value. It is a rare European model not often seen in the US market.

I was so please to get this microphone. Clean and clear and very robust. An absolute classic of the music industry. Gough whitlam spoke into one on that terrible day in November during the constitutional crisis, the Beatles used them all over the world seen lots of photos of that.

I found it to be too warm and harsh for video game commentaries and vocal work. SM7b keeps knocking all these cheap mics out. It's natural. I need to get natural mics! If you want warmth and harsh and a muddy sound then get this.

RE27 or MD421 II ? That was the choice for me. No phantom power stuff that requires unnecessary interfacing etc. After hearing both on air, and comparing the technical specs of many, many, microphones the most natural and to my ears and also has a unique sound, the Sennheiser won the battle.

Although the Sennheiser company has been making all types of microphone in Germany since the end of World War II, it's probably fair to say that its most iconic designs (like the 421 and the 441) are moving-coil dynamics rather than condensers.

Studio microphone jack or live, drums, amp, copper ... OVERALL OPINION It is a very good mic. Quite versatile, I use it mostly on the toms battery. I also used a guitar amp and a bass amp.

I love the sound of this when paired with my SM57 - they go great together. The SmM57 gets the highs and the mids and the 421 gets the darker mids and great lows.
