Great live mic for drums but fantastic for all purpose recording.

JimRyan 31.03.2025

Similar to the SM57 (not in terms of frequency response) but for the fact that it can be used on almost everything and sound great. Probably has the best sustain of any mic i have used. I use this for floor toms during live situations but use it for guitar, bass, drums and vocals when recording and it has a clear deliverance in the mix. The build qualty is the only point i would raise a concern with it. It hasnt failed me but i would be careful with it. Overall very happy with how it deliveries. Worth very penney!

Exciting

This is my live snare top mic.
I loved MD421 on snares because the heaviness it catches from snares and this is just that but without the need for a fuckin' stand... if you work for many years as a sound engineer you just start to get tired of stands :D

Report

excellent dynamic mic

I got 3 of these for toms, and found out they're great for sax and even vocals too. The affordable price makes me wonder why I would ever want to get the twice as expensive, full size versions. These are clean and precise dynamic mics.

Top Teil

Die Mics klingen extrem gut an den Toms, genau wie erwartet bei einem MD421. Sie sind sehr leicht (dennoch nicht fragil) und gut für einen Rim-Mount geeignet. Der mitgelieferte Mount ist zwar etwas steif, scheint jedoch sehr stabil zu sein. Verarbeitungstechnisch gibt es einen leichten Grat an der Oberseite des Gehäuses dort wo vermutlich die Gussformen zusammentreffen. Kein Problem, aber etwas irritierend bei einem 300 Euro Mikrofon.
Ein Manko das ich gefunden habe: Am 16er Tom reicht die lässt sich das Mikro am Rim-Mount nicht weit genug nach "oben" kippen, um es auch wirklich auf das Zentrum zu richten. Das wäre ohne weiteres möglich gewesen, wenn man den Range des Kippgelenks einfach ein bisschen weiter gefasst hätte.
Ich habe sie zurückgesendet, da ich im Vergleich mit meinen e604 im Live-Gebrauch noch zufrieden bin. Im Studio machen die Dinger aber eine richtig gute Figur!
