ReviewsSound:
I have used the Sennheiser 421 for 35 years in my broadcasting career. It is used extensively in radio stations and in recording studios as a voice mic. I know it is usually billed as an instrument microphone but it is equally as good for voice work. It has a full rich sound and is extremely sensitive and natural sounding and it won't even begin to break up even with announcers who scream into it. The 421 is the best choice for anyone doing voice overs from a home studio. It'll make you sound big-league and for the price it is a far better deal than a Neumann which can run up to US$11,000. I suggest you run it through a digital interface like the PreSonus Firebox rather than through a sound card and you will be amazed by the sesitivity and clarity of this microphone. Don't get the shock-mount though. It doesn't lock properly and the mic can fall off too easily. Use a mic-stand with a boom-arm and the standard screw mount.
