The Sennheiser MD 421 Kompakt Dynamic Microphone with Drum Clamp delivers classic MD 421 performance in a smaller, stage-ready format. This wired dynamic microphone captures clear, detailed audio for live sound and recording while the included MZH DRUMS clip creates a secure drum-miking setup.

Designed for engineers, musicians, studios, and touring crews, the MD 421 Kompakt is built for drums, guitar cabinets, vocals, and instrument capture. Its compact body makes tight placements easier, while the included drum clamp helps buyers looking for a Sennheiser drum microphone, compact dynamic mic for recording, or MD 421 Kompakt with clamp package.
