Sweetwater Advice

Andrew Malloy

WOW!!! I checked out the Sennheiser MK4 and I didn't expect the microphone to be this well-rounded. The MK4's lineage came from Sennheiser's handheld vocal microphones so I wanted to use it on other sources. I tried it out on acoustic guitar, as a room mic, and on my small Fender combo amp. In all of these situations, it gave me a great tone that sounded polished, but not hyped.

The best gift for my husband

I bought MK4 for my husband. He is professional musician. He said that the best gift for him because it will help in his work. I'd like to tell about company Sweetwater. Staff of company are high level professionals and think about customer.

Love it.

This is my first professional condenser mic. I fell in love with sennheiser after getting an e835. I liked it way over an sm58 for a live mic. And this mic doesn't disappoint. It is super sensitive, I recommend getting the shock mount. It picked up cars on the road 50 ft away from my basement so I just ordered the shockmount. I haven't yet sang through a Neuman or anything too expensive but I am really happy with this mic so far.

Sennheiser MK 4

I bought this mic a couple of months ago and I am happy to say it is my mic of choice. It has nice clean highs without the "shrill" and the low end is so tight I don't even use a high pass filter anymore when recording, plus it's built like a tank. Having tested several microphones in this price range, I can say you'll be pleasantly surprised. Sennheiser has a winner with the MK 4.

Sennheiser MK4

You hear people say it's a great mic for the money but I say it's a great mic all around. Good for acoustic guitar and vocals and perfect for the project studio. Is it a U47? Of course not, but I'd stack this mic up against all the others at this price point and even more expensive mics.

MK4 = an AWESOME MIC !!!!

The MK 4 sounds BETTER then any mic NEAR or IN its price range !!!!
For those who don't know this mic is manufactured in the same factory as the famous Neumann microphones in Germany.
This mic is solid as a ROCK ! It feels and sounds very HIGH QUALITY.
Don't be led astray just because it doesn't include a shock mount or switches !
I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS MIC TO ANYONE WHO WANTS CRYSTAL CLEAR VOCALS/ACOUSTIC GUITAR/OR YOU CAN USE 2 MK 4'S FOR GREAT OVERHEADS ON DRUMS !!!!!!
GET THIS MIC !!!!! YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED !!!!

The perfect gift

I bought this for my son - a video producer in Chicago. I sincerely wish he had really hated it and given it back to me but he couldn't stop raving about how perfect it was for his business and how much better his audio takes were. Oh well, I'll just drop a lot of hints and wait for Christmas next year. Thanks Sweetwater and thanks to my Sales Engineer - Eddie - for the help with getting this.
