Sennheiser USA has introduced the MD 421 Special Edition microphone, to commemorate the 90th birthday of Sennheiser founder, Prof. Dr. J rg Fritz Sennheiser. The new MD 421 Special Edition utilizes the large diaphragm, dynamic element of the original microphone, which was known for its handling of high sound pressure levels and performance in voice broadcasting as well as other vocal and drum applications.

The new commemorative edition recaptures the performance of the original 1960s design, which was one of Sennheiser's most popular dynamic mics for over 35 years, and will be limited to 990 production units. Each limited edition microphone features gold-plated hardware, comes with a velour-lined wood jewelers box and a desk stand, and includes a numbered certificate of authentication personally signed by Prof. Dr. J rg Sennheiser. Like the original, the new MD 421 Special Edition offers a highly directional cardioid pickup pattern for feedback rejection. It also features the five-position bass roll-off switch and hum-compensating coil of the original.

The Sennheiser MD 421 Special Edition retails for $649.95
