    It is a drop-dead gorgeous strap. The seller helped me a lot by dropping the price a bit. It was all I had. Anyway, it arrived in a factory bag, it is precisely as offered, and delivered by Pony Express. Excellent seller, highly recommended.

    The best dynamic studio microphone value anywhere

    I've been doing radio broadcasting since I was 15 years old in 1978. Now 39 years later, I am 54 and have worked with virtually every studio microphone configuration you can imagine. While most are good, some stand out as better, and a few rise above the rest. Throughout the spectrum of microphones, from the old standard Electrovoice RE20 to the Shure SM7, the one microphone that was the top choice of the top stations was always the Sennheiser MD421u and it's present-day descendant the MD421II. The Sennheiser MD421-II is a microphone that truly was made for the broadcast studio. It has an enormously ballsy low end, which you can control with the multi-position bass roll-off switch. It also has great brilliance on the high end, which has improved over the older models as technology has ...

    Your MD421 will still crash to the floor on a regular basis

    Got this to try and solve the infamously bad MD421 stand adapter problem. Bad news, it is no more stable than the stock one. Plan on picking your mic up from the floor often. A small rubber harness, like a regular SM57 type clip would have made this pretty good. Without having such a feature it is just throwing good money after bad. Seems like the materials are good quality but the design is no improvement at all over the stock clip.

  • I ALWAYS DO THIS...

    I received the sennheiser and immediately plugged it in to test it. I noticed a slight crackle when turning the EQ switch, five positions to control bass roll off. And the screen was bent in several places. Finding instructions on the internet, I found how to disassemble it. I took it all apart, bent the screen back out, and reassembled it. Upon testing it after reassembly, the crackle was gone, completely. It sounded better over all. I not only fixed the crackle, I renewed all the internal connections. I am now very happy with my new microphone.

  • Great Mic

    Got the mic earlier than I expected and it was in great condition, just as advertised. I used it in my first drum session and it sounds bad ass. Great success

  • Straight from germany

    I bought this product from either a person or a studio in Germany. Either way, they took amazing care of it because it works amazingly. The best dynamic mic on the market. And their price was spot on. Thanks German dudes. I am extremely happy with my purchase and product.
