Product Description
The Sennheiser MMD 42-1 is a high-quality dynamic microphone capsule with an omnidirectional pick-up pattern, designed specifically for clear, reliable speech capture in the field. Fitted to a compatible Sennheiser wireless handheld transmitter, it lets you focus on the interview rather than mic technique, delivering consistent intelligibility even when the capsule is not pointed directly at the speaker.
Its omni design captures sound evenly from all directions, making it ideal for fast-paced ENG, reporting and documentary work where you need to move quickly between speakers. The robust dynamic transducer is built to cope with demanding environments, while the specially engineered housing helps to minimise wind and handling noise so your audio stays focused on the voice.
With a sensitivity of 1.8 mV/Pa, the MMD 42-1 offers a healthy output level that works hand in hand with Sennheiser wireless systems. Whether you are conducting street interviews, gathering vox pops or working on location pieces, this capsule provides the clarity and consistency you need for professional broadcast results.
Because it is a dedicated microphone module, the MMD 42-1 also gives you flexibility. You can swap capsules to suit different jobs, but when speech intelligibility and ease of use are the priority, this omni dynamic head is a dependable choice.
Optimised For Speech
The MMD 42-1 is voiced to keep spoken word clear and intelligible, helping dialogue cut through background ambience. This makes it particularly suitable for interviews, news gathering and any application where the message needs to be heard first time.
Omnidirectional Pick-Up Pattern
With its omnidirectional pattern, the capsule captures sound from all directions, so you do not have to keep it perfectly aimed at your interview partner. This is ideal for fast, informal interviews and situations where the microphone is constantly moving between speakers.
Dynamic Transducer For Demanding Environments
The dynamic capsule design offers reliable performance in a wide range of conditions. It handles high sound pressure levels with ease and does not require phantom power, making it a practical choice for location work and mobile wireless setups.
Reduced Wind And Handling Noise
The special construction of the MMD 42-1 helps to minimise wind and handling noise, so your recordings stay focused on the voice rather than unwanted thumps and rumbles. This is particularly useful for outdoor work and handheld interviewing.
Features
- Omnidirectional Pick-Up Pattern - Captures sound evenly from all directions, allowing you to move naturally during interviews without constantly correcting mic position, and helping to maintain consistent levels between interviewer and guest.
- Dynamic Capsule Design - The robust dynamic transducer delivers dependable performance without the need for external power, coping well with high sound pressure levels and the rigours of daily field use.
- Enhanced Speech Intelligibility - Tuned for spoken word, the MMD 42-1 keeps dialogue clear and easy to understand, making it well suited to ENG, reporting, podcasting and documentary applications.
