SENNHEISER MD 421 II CARDIOID DYNAMIC MICROPHONE

In the 35 years since it was introduced, Sennheiser’s versatile and robust MD 421 has become a classic, and one of the company’s most popular dynamic microphones in the recording studio or on the road. The Sennheiser MD 421 II Dynamic Microphone continues the tradition, its large diaphragm, directional cardioid response and ability to handle high sound pressure levels making it the go-to choice for a broad range of instruments, including electric guitar, wind instruments (particularly brass) and drums, especially toms and percussion. Its full-bodied performance, clarity and switch-selectable low-frequency roll-off control also lends itself to group vocals and radio broadcast applications.

FEATURES:

• Glass composite housing and hardened stainless steel basket—rugged and durable
• Five position bass roll-off switch—compensates for proximity effect
• Effective feedback rejection
• Clear sound reproduction
• Easy handling due to pronounced directivity
• Acoustic components enclosed in inner chassis—reduced sensitivity to dust and humidity
• Internal bass tubes—accurate low-end response
• Handles exceptionally high sound pressure levels

SOYUZ LAUNCHER MICROPHONE GAIN BOOSTER

The Launcher is not meant to be transparent and clean like other “gain boosters” on the market. Imagine taking a piece of a vintage analog console and putting it in a magic little box. It’s no longer a fantasy with the Launcher.

If you’ve ever struggled to get “that” sound when plugging your mic into an interface without an external preamp, then struggle no more. The Launcher makes your mics sound like they’re running through a vintage console– even when they’re plugged into a simple interface or PA system.

DREAM IN COLOR

The Launcher imparts a truly special character and color that will bring your sound to the next level. With its custom hand wound transformer, the Launcher’s warm character will forever change the way you look at dynamic and ribbon microphones.

PREPARE FOR TAKE OFF

Whether on the stage, in the booth, or in your bedroom, the Launcher gives your microphones the ability to perform incredibly well with virtually any interface or preamp by optimizing the sound of your source, boosting your gain by 26 dB, and lowering the amount of audible noise in your signal chain.

TAKE YOUR SOUND WITH YOU

If you’re a musician, home or professional engineer, podcaster, voiceover artist, or just someone who loves making videos, the Launcher will take your sound to the next level. You don’t need a huge studio to have a huge sound – the Launcher will get you there no matter the time or place.

COUNTDOWN TO PERFECT SOUND

The Launcher is the culmination of years of beta testing and feedback from real musicians and engineers around the world. The launcher’s custom transformer and proprietary circuit have become one of Soyuz’s most closely guarded secrets. Every Launcher is hand-built in the Soyuz facility.
