We explore the brand-new Sennheiser MD 421 Kompakt microphones! Known for their legendary sound on toms, the original MD 421 has been a top choice for studio use, but it came with a few limitations. Now, Sennheiser has introduced a more compact "Kompakt" version that addresses those issues.
We break down the features of the new MD 421 Kompakt, including its lighter weight, built-in stand adapter, and innovative hoop mount. Does the smaller size affect the sound quality? We put it to the test with side-by-side comparisons of the mic mounted on a stand versus clipped onto a drum hoop.
Could this versatile mic even change the game for live performances? Join us for an honest and in-depth review as we dive into the world of drum miking with the newest addition from Sennheiser.
