Sennheiser MD 421-II – Legendary Versatility for Instruments and Vocals

The Sennheiser MD 421-II is celebrated for its remarkable adaptability, making it one of the brand’s most recognized microphones.

Built for durability and performance, the MD 421-II features a rugged glass composite body with a hardened stainless steel basket.
