One of Sennheiser's best
The Sennheiser MD 441-U is a tried-and-trusted, supercardioid dynamic microphone with acoustic properties that come as close as possible to those of a condenser microphone. Transient response, low-distortion transmission, and a balanced yet bold sound are characteristic features of the Sennheiser MD 441-U, which make this the microphone of choice for practically any application. In addition, the Sennheiser MD 441-U is highly resistant to feedback and insensitive to structure-borne sound thanks to a spring-loaded system, and also features a five-position bass roll-off switch and single-position brilliance (treble boost) switch. The microphone is also encased in an all-metal housing, complete with grip surface in a black leatherette finish.
A whole palette of bass and treble options
The five-position bass roll-off switch has two end positions marked "M" (for "Music") and "S" (for "Speech"), and essentially has the sole purpose of thinning out the bass range with increasing proximity to the "S" position. The single-position brilliance switch, on the other hand, raises the corresponding range by a good two decibels to provide greater transparency where required. Combining the sound options provided by both filter circuits with the microphone's supercardioid polar pattern (significant change in sound produced by slightly different positioning) opens up numerous sound design possibilities, which will bring joy to every recording enthusiast’s heart.
The perfect addition to every microphone pool
There are some microphones that are predestined for use in certain areas and others – including the dynamic Sennheiser MD 441-U – which can hold their own in almost any area of use. Quite simply, the Sennheiser MD 441-U is a true "all-rounder", with the ability to transmit signals in the manner of a condenser microphone, but with the added benefits of a dynamic microphone, and therefore delivering a price/performance ratio that is more than fair despite the relatively high price tag. This makes the Sennheiser MD 441-U the ideal choice for performers who are willing to pay that little bit more in exchange for a top-notch microphone.
About Sennheiser
In June 1945, Prof. Fritz Sennheiser founded the Wennebostel Laboratory, which initially produced measuring equipment. Commissioned by Siemens in 1945, the young company developed the MD-1 microphone, which was launched in 1946. After the development of further microphones, the company was renamed Sennheiser Electronic in 1958. Two years later, Sennheiser introduced the MD 421 dynamic microphone, which is still in production today and still held in high esteem by many sound engineers. Further groundbreaking developments, such as the HD 414 headphones and the MD 441 microphone classic, hugely enhanced the company’s international reputation, eventually making Sennheiser one of the leading manufacturers of microphone and headphone systems in the world.
Highly versatile
The headline says it all – after all, the Sennheiser MD 441-U excels in so many areas – but to recapitulate, this high-quality, dynamic microphone is the perfect choice for speech, vocals, and instrumental recordings across the entire sound transmission spectrum. Whether used in live or studio performances, with percussion or wind instruments, for speech or vocals, the Sennheiser MD 441-U is a perfect fit with every signal source, not least on account of its filters, and can also cope admirably with the stresses and strains of life in the live music business thanks to its robust and highly durable construction.
