Super Cardiod Dynamic Microphone, Sennheiser MD441U

The Sennheiser MD 441 U is a super-cardioid studio dynamic microphone. Embraced by the recording industry as one of the most versatile dynamic microphones available, the MD 441 U is a proven work horse designed for any recording application. The microphone features a super-cardioid pattern providing impressive rejection of off-axis noise due to mechanical noise, room ambiance, monitors, etc. The dynamic capsule handles high sound pressure levels and provides a wide 30-20,000 Hz frequency response. This makes the microphone suitable for drums, percussion, electric guitar, horns and other instruments with high transient (peak) response. Adding to the versatility is a 5-position low frequency roll-off switch and 2-position high frequency contour switch. The output stage features a hum bucking coil, suppressing noise and hum caused by bad cables, grounding etc.
