Built around the MD 421-II capsule, the MD 421 Kompakt is a compact dynamic cardioid microphone for loud, detailed sources. It is intended for drums, guitar amplifiers, brass, vocals, recording, and live work, with a cardioid pattern that rejects unwanted sound and feedback. The reinforced mounting clip is fixed securely to the microphone for dependable placement. An MZH drum clamp is specified for precise drum miking, letting the microphone take a more direct place in a drum setup.
