Features

  • Excellent feedback rejection
  • Excellent sound quality

  • Brilliance (treble boost) switch gives added speech intelligibility

The MD 441 U is a microphone of exceptional quality: its acoustic properties come as close as possible to those of a condenser microphone. Accurate signal response and low distortion are ensured, even with the highest sound pressure levels. Surface: all metal body with black simulated leather finish, sound inlet basket: nickel plated.

The fact that the body is square (in cross-section) is part of the reason for the relatively high cost of the microphone. Cylindrical bodies are easier to manufacture.

The Sennheiser Electronics Corporation MD 441U is also known as: MD441, 441, MD441U.

The mic was released in 1971.
