“The 421 is the most amazing tom mic i've ever heard. Even better, they're durable, portable, and flexible ...but i wouldn't recommend using them for vocals. Cedric from the mars volta is an amazing vocalist, and i too noticed him using a sennheiser 421 lately, and it seemed really strange to me. upon delving into the subject a little more... i discovered it is actually a Audix om6 in the 421's...” Read More

Sweetwater Expert Advice

		"Listen to some of your favourite records, the MD 421 was probably there in the studio, helping the masters make history, on toms, guitar, and bass cabinets. Able to withstand the levels and pressures of nearly any musical source, in the studio and on the road they are built to perform. The MD 421 II is a go-to mic and one that you need in your collection if you are recording bands and instruments. " Stuart Niven
		"The MD 421 is THE mic for getting a professional sound out of tom toms. It is also at home delivering warm, rich tones on guitar and bass amps. The mic itself is built like a tank, and is more than capable of withstanding the tortures of energetic drummers and the distress of life on the road. The only downside is that once you own one MD-421 you will want to get a couple more." Nick Schenkel
