Robustes Reportagemikrofon

Christian aus N., 06.11.2009

Das Sennheiser MD42 ist ein sehr langes (circa 25 Zentimeter) und robustes dynamisches Reportagemikrofon (Phantomspeisung ist also nicht erforderlich). Es liegt relativ schwer in der Hand (etwas über 300 Gramm) und kann als unverwüstlich bezeichnet werden. Durch seine massive Metall-Außenhaut werden störende Griffgeräusche minimiert. Der die Kapsel gut schützende Korb hat einen integrierten Windschutz. Trotzdem empfiehlt es sich allein der Optik wegen einen seperaten Wind- bzw. Poppschutz anzuschaffen. Es muss ja nicht gleich ein teurer von Sennheiser sein...

Die Kugel-Charakteristik des Mikrofons fängt alle Raumgeräusche sehr gut ein, trotzdem hat das Mikrofon keine Schwierigkeiten sich auf eine Signalquelle zu "konzentrieren".

Ich bin hoch zufrieden mit diesem Reportagemikrofon und würde es jeder Zeit wieder kaufen! Ich benutze es zusammen mit einem Marantz PMD 661, habe es aber auch schon erfolgreich in ein Mischpult gestöpselt und auf diese Weise zweckentfremdet ;-)

Härtetest bestanden!

MK779, 21.01.2012

Als Reporter in extremen Wettersituationen habe ich heute das Sennheiser MD 42 mitten im Sturm (Mittelwinde 70-75 kmh, Spitzenböen 90-104 kmh) getestet. Der Wind wird sauber unterdrückt und wenn überhaupt, nur als sanftes Geräusch wahrzunehmen. Die Stimme kommt sauber und klar rüber, keinerlei Neben- oder Störgeräusche (Popp, Wind, Handgriff etc.)! Liegt ziemlich schwer und somit fest und ruhig in der Hand. Auch die Verarbeitung ist klasse und wirkt sehr stabil. Wirklich ein sehr gutes Mikrofon, das mich und mein team voll überzeugt hat!

Buen micro

Asier S., 28.06.2015

He probado el microfono tanto en voces como para grabar alguna guitarra eléctrica. Para ambas cosas me ha dado buenos resultados. Para guitarras es una alternativa que no está mal probar, ya que tempoco es tan caro comparando con otros micros.

excellent micro de reportage/interview tout-terrain

Rodolp, 29.09.2018

robuste et facile à manier. Bonne réserve de gain, totalement insensible au vent même sans bonnette, relativement insensible aux sons de manipulations mais il faut rester vigilent sur ce point. Il est parfaitement adapté aux interviews de reportage en condition tout terrains. Les voix ressortent naturellement de la prise de son, avec un grain très agréable. Sa directivité omni facilite le placement: une fois son gain calé à peu près, l'interviewer peut se passer du casque et orienter le MD 42 sans se prendre la tête, la voix sera toujours valorisée, en intérieur comme en extérieur. Si l'environnement sonore est très bruyant, le MD 46 hypercardio sera bienvenu, mais le placement du micro deviendra crucial. Pour faire face à toutes les situations, il faudrait avoir les deux... d'ailleurs pour le prix d'un MD 21U, vous pouvez avoir le MD 42 et le MD 46! un choix professionnel idéal à mon avis.
