Reviews

Beast of a Microphone
The best Snare Mic I have ever used ! Not to mention it sounds good on just about everything ! worth every dime !
Music background: Recording engineer for over 25 years
Worth every penny
I was looking for a mic sensitive enough to pick up articulation changes with a bow but also one that wasn't going to catch wind noise outside and this mic is so, so perfect.
A Very Versatile Microphone
Much has been written about the Sennheiser MD 441-U Dynamic Supercardiod Microphone.

My experience is that the MD 441-U is a very versatile device capable of delivering excellent results for voiceover work. For this I have found the best settings for my voice to be M (Music) with the treble boost switch engaged. On the Music setting there is a natural roll-off from 80Hz, not too far off the high pass filter setting one would choose on a general purpose studio condenser microphone, while the Treble Boost approaches the sound of a condenser microphone in the upper registers. This, combined with a slightly greater distance between performer and microphone than the 15cm (six inches) recommended in the accompanying literature delivers a very pleasing result.

The adjacent '1' setting also delivers a very acceptable result for voiceover work. The '2' and '3' settings are probably best reserved for a soprano voice or percussion instrument. The Sennheiser MD 441-U enables careful tailoring of microphone to sound source while the supercardiod polar pattern is helpful in managing extraneous sound.

As a dynamic microphone, the MD 441-U spares us the perceived harshness of a condenser microphone to render a relaxed and yet fully modern vocal performance. If you want to reduce listener fatigue this is the tool you should reach for.

Amazing characteristics
We where doing interviews in a noisy club blasting music. The final result sounded as if we did the interview in a studio with some gentle background music mixed in.

It is pricey but sometimes you get what you pay for
Teview of the Sennheiser MD 441 - U
The Sennheiser MD 441 - U is exactly what I had hoped it would be. It sounds delicious with absolutely no coloration. No boom or shrillness. What you see is what you get.

It has a beautiful sophisticated sound.
