If you’ve heard music, you’ve heard the MD 421 — a legendary Sennheiser microphone, featured in countless award-winning performances and productions over the last five decades. Introduced in 2024, the MD 421 Kompakt delivers the same legendary performance as the MD 421, in a compact form factor for added versatility. To celebrate Sennheiser’s 80th anniversary, this compact powerhouse will be available for a limited time in vintage grey, reminiscent of the cosmetics featured on the earliest MD 421s produced in the 1960s. MD 421 Kompakt’s redesigned mounting clip can be combined with the incldued MZH Drum Clamp to ensure a stable connection and fail-safe mechanism for any miking situation.
Like all MD 421s before it, the Sennhiser MD 421 Kompakt 80th Anniversary Edition offers remarkable dynamic range and pristine sound reproduction to handle whatever the creative process requires in live sound and recording applications.

MD 421 Kompakt puts the focus on your sound source like no other microphone. Equipped with a cardioid pickup pattern and an extremely wide frequency range, MD 421 Kompakt excels at isolating your desired sound source while minimizing unwanted background noise and feedback — meaning your captured sound is always pure and focused. Additionally, a bass tube inside the microphone housing reproduces sound with an incredibly accurate and extended low-end response, ultimately producing a rich and balanced tone with full spectrum clarity.
MD 421 Kompakt adapts effortlessly to any recording or live-sound environment. Its smaller form factor is low-profile, lightweight yet rugged, and built to withstand the rigors of professional use. With durable components and an inner chassis enclosure that helps reduce dust and humidity, the microphone's performance is constructed for long-term reliability. On the road or in the studio, you can trust in the durability and dependability of Sennheiser engineering.
Along with its low-profile design, MD 421 Kompakt also features a completely reengineered mounting clip which is securely attached to the microphone itself, ensuring a stable connection to any standard microphone stand. Whether you're miking up tom drums, attaching it to a stand in front of guitar cabs, or exploring any other application in between, MD 421 Kompakt stays in place and captures pristine sound in any situation with its exceptionally stable design. Like its predecessor, the MD 421 Kompakt is a must-have in every road case.
