MD 421 Kompakt delivers the same legendary performance as the original MD 421 and MD 421-II but in a truly multipurpose package — including a completely redesigned mounting clip. Just like the originals, MD 421 Kompakt features a cardioid pickup pattern and remarkable dynamic range, delivering crystal-clear sound reproduction engineered to handle whatever the creative process requires in live sound and recording applications.

Also available is the optional MZH Drum Clamp, which securely screws into the MD 421 Kompakt mounting clip to create a fail-safe mechanism for drum miking.
