The MD 421 Kompakt introduces a streamlined approach to miking, retaining the legendary capsule and sonic DNA of the MD 421-II while significantly reducing the physical footprint. By eliminating the traditional bass roll-off switch — a function now standard in modern mixing desks and DAWs — Sennheiser has created a highly versatile tool optimized for high-density stages and tight studio setups, such as toms, guitar cabs, and horns.

The microphone features a cardioid pick-up pattern and remarkable dynamic range, engineered to handle exceptionally high sound pressure levels in demanding environments. Beyond its sonic performance, the MD 421 Kompakt features an entirely redesigned, integrated mounting clip that addresses long-standing user feedback, providing a fail-safe mounting solution for performers and technicians. This technical recognition at the 41st TEC Awards highlights the microphone’s utility in modern live production and recording applications.

“The MD 421 is a true audio icon, and with the MD 421 Kompakt we continue its legacy while solving real-world challenges for today’s stages and studios,” said Jimmy Landry, Global Category Market Manager, MI at Sennheiser. “Being recognized by the TEC Awards at NAMM celebrates both our heritage and our commitment to exceptional sound.”
