I had a fun night at work tonight. While the show was on, I got to unbox and add to inventory a buuuuunch of brand new #microphones!

- #DPA 4099s w/ piano mount
- DPA 4088 Cardiod headsets
- DPA 4066 Omni headsets
- #Neumann #KM184
- #Sennheiser #MD421
- #Shure #ULXD4 w/ #sm58 caps
- #AKG 414 matched pair

We now have 8 channels of wireless mics to help better serve community groups. I'm very proud to be able to offer Broadway quality to our quests.

It's a real privilege and an honour to be a part of keeping that 122 year old #theatre running into the future.

This changes EVERYTHING!

Sennheiser is about to release a MINI 421, and I got a chance to use 3 of them tonight!

Only about 3 inches long, no M-S ring, no slider mic clip!

A stupid white hand holds a prototype Sennheiser MD421 mini microphone! It's about half the length of a normal 421 (about 3 inches) and has a standard microphone stand mount rather than the horrible slide clip from the regular 421. A spaghetti of cabling can be seen on the stage floor in the background.

Most people think of #guitar and specifically #guitaramps when referring to the #sennheiser #MD421. Some folks might be old-school enough to think of #snare and #toms, #drums in general. Some might even think of #vocals or #voice in general.
Well, how about this: I view the #didgeridoo as an extension of my #vocal machinery and staying in line with the bass heavy #drum use-case: Here's some free #didgeridoomusic from an F#1 pipe on a #md421 - #music #jam. (C) Freddie Veggie 2024. Lic: CC-BY 4.0

I'm so tempted to get a #sennheiser #MD421 kompakt, the new model. I have a #vintage #microphone like that, probably built in the early 70s, and I'm curious to do a mic #shootout on the #didgeridoo with some #didgeridoomusic . But what will my wife say when I approach my twentieth mic? Hmm.

Early Xmas present for myself: my all time favorite #microphone, the #Sennheiser #MD421! Arguably one of the best moving coil mics ever made. The design remained virtually unchanged since 1960! Sounds great on drums, vocals, guitars, brass etc. Super versatile and extremely reliable. I think mine is from the 1960s, it still has a Tuchel (DIN) connector, hence the XLR adapter cable dangling off the end. I was looking for an affordable one for ages. 😊

Sennheiser MD421 microphone in my hand, it’s the beige/grey old variant, slightly bent grille but otherwise in good condition. The Sennheiser logo is visible.Sennheiser MD421 from the side, with its unique shape showing. The mic stand mount clips in on the bottom and somewhat resembles the shape of the Star Trek space ships.
