Kommentar des Toningenieurs

Tonal Profile

Pressure gradient cardioid, 30 Hz to 17 kHz, with a five-position bass rolloff on the collar. Electrical impedance is 250 ohms - higher than the 150 ohms of the Shure dynamics, which matters on long cable runs into low-impedance inputs.

Gain Staging Advice

Sennheiser publishes 2 mV/Pa, which converts to -54.0 dBV/Pa. Same neighbourhood as an SM58, 5 dB above an SM7B: the 421 is not the gain-hungry mic its price bracket suggests.
