To hear the full-spectrum capsule test on the mobile app, scroll down past reviews to the Video section. This exceptional German-made Sennheiser MD 421-2 dynamic microphone (#50,871) features the classic, vintage mid-1970s light-gray finish. Sourced directly out of a working professional studio environment, it functions beautifully with massive low-end authority, pristine transient response, and clean midrange punch. *Technical Bench Note for the Video Demo: This specific microphone is the original "-2" heavy-duty broadcast version, which features the large 3-pin Großtuchel output jack. Built like an absolute tank, it intentionally omits the complex, fail-prone 5-position M-S bass roll-off filter switch, keeping the internal capsule circuit direct, pristine, and incredibly simple. To ensure seamless modern studio integration, this package includes a premium, custom-made short pigtail Großtuchel-to-XLR breakout adapter line—bridging it directly to any modern console, stage snake, or audio interface out of the box. The microphone has been fully bench-tested and cleaned in our Munich workshop facility, exhibiting perfect acoustic capsule symmetry, a robust output, and excellent high-SPL transient handling. 🔬 Technical Specifications: • Transducer Principle: Large-diaphragm dynamic • Directional Characteristic: Cardioid • Frequency Response: 30 Hz – 17,000 Hz • Nominal Impedance: 200 Ohms • Filter Control: None (Streamlined direct broadcast circuit configuration) • Housing Material: Heavy-duty light-gray glass-composite polycarbonate • Inlet Screen: Stainless steel wire mesh 📊 Condition Profile: • Acoustics: Bench and sweep-tested meeting excellent factory operational specs with strong output and zero rumble.
