Sennheiser MK4 SET Large-Diaphragm Condenser Microphone

Featuring fine resolution and outstanding sound quality, the Sennheiser MK 4 is an ideal choice for professional project studios and home recordists. The MK 4 is a large-diaphragm true condenser microphone for professional studio recordings. It features a 1 inch true condenser capsule based on the acoustics of the e 965 high-end vocal mic, optimised for recording.

From acoustic guitars to vocals and even drum overheads, the MK 4’s frequency response has been tailored to ensure a natural reproduction of the sound source, making it ideal for any home or project studio. Its ability to accurately reproduce such a wide range of sounds is thanks in part to its 1” true condenser capsule.

At the heart of the 1" true condenser capsule is a 24-karat gold-sputtered diaphragm. Gold is an excellent conductor for electrical signals and also prevents corrosion over time. Factor in the cardioid polar pattern and you’ve got yourself a single microphone that’s ready to record anything you put in front it.

About Condenser Microphones at Sound Productions

Achieve professional polish to your studio sound with condenser microphones from Sound Productions. A condenser microphone uses a capacitor that converts sound vibrations into electric currents. It is characterized by increased sound sensitivity than a dynamic mic, enabling it to capture more natural, detailed audio from vocals and instruments.

Use a large-diaphragm condenser mic (sometimes called a “capacitor mic”) to optimize the sound of vocals, acoustic guitar, and ambient room audio. Alternatively, choose a small diaphragm condenser mic (or “pencil mic”) for acoustic instruments including guitars, classical instruments, cymbals, and drum overheads. The smaller capsule and lightweight build make it easy to place perfectly in almost any miking application, while the consistent polar pattern makes a pair of small-diaphragm condenser mics the perfect choice for stereo miking.

Compared to the other popular option of dynamic microphones, condenser mics are louder, pick up a wider frequency response, and enjoy an expansive dynamic range—all aspects that make them ideal for studio recording.
