I have put this mic on so many different things and always found it to sound great. When a condenser mic might pick up too much ambience try this. Grand piano, any part of drum kit inc overhead, brass, cello woodwind and guitar or bass amps are all great uses. Only downside is the annoying and expensive clip.

You won't get the crisp clear highs through this thing (like modern day condensers) but the mid range and bass response is open, warm and very accurate to the source. Feels like I'm taking tracks off tape with this microphone. So far I have tested it on Kick drum, acoustic guitar, guitar amps and vocals. It definitely sounds great on all of these and produces a lovely usable sound! Extremely versatile microphone. Things to keep in mind: - For quiet sources you need a pretty powerful preamp - Does have a noise floor (every so slightly noticeable but not overpowering in anyway)

I found that the old ones are just a little bit better than the new ones , and I like the look of the old color.

I have 2 Neumanns and an RCA BK-5 which I use for voice work. The Sennheiser sounds very natural and imposing.

In case of the MD421 the old versions have a better low end response. In the sixties and seventies the MD421 were built in Germany by hand with high quality materials. The new MD421 has a totally different cheap made capsule. It would be far too expensive to manufacture it now as they did in the 60's and 70's. The vintage MD421's will last forever!
