MD 445

The top model of dynamic Sennheiser microphones sounds impressive thanks to its unparalleled presence and open- ness.
The sophisticated and extensive sound calibration of the dynamic, wired microphone creates noticeably greater proximity to the vocals. With its high-rejection supercar- dioid pickup pattern, the MD 445 provides focus in every application and systematically protects against feedback – even at extreme volumes. Thanks to its rugged metal design, it can withstand extensive wear and tear.
FEATURES
• Dynamic vocal microphone
• Very lightweight, rapidly responding aluminum- copper voice coil
• High-resolution, direct sound for audibly greater proxi- mity to the vocals
• Directionality: high-rejection supercardioid
• Extremely high feedback resistance
• Large diaphragm diameter
• Spring-mounted capsule to shield it from body-borne noise
• Hum compensation coil to eliminate electromagnetic interference
• Rugged metal design
