{"product_id":"sennheiser-md-42-170661","title":"MD 42","description":"\u003ch3\u003eA Reporting Classic: Sennheiser's Field-Oriented Approach\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eSennheiser MD 42\u003c\/strong\u003e follows the tradition of dynamic microphones designed for \u003cstrong\u003elive\u003c\/strong\u003e use and environments where there is no room for retakes. Its construction prioritizes consistency and durability, featuring a \u003cstrong\u003especial steel grille\u003c\/strong\u003e and internal architecture aimed at minimizing typical nuisances of on-the-fly shoots and recordings: gusts of wind, frequent handling, passing the microphone from hand to hand, and inevitable minor shocks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho Is It For and What Are Its Uses?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe MD 42 is intended for \u003cstrong\u003ejournalists\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eTV and radio\u003c\/strong\u003e crews, interviewers, event production teams, and content creators recording on the move. Its \u003cstrong\u003eomnidirectional\u003c\/strong\u003e characteristic makes it a particularly reassuring choice when the speaker moves, turns their head, or when the microphone-to-mouth distance varies: intelligibility remains stable and the sound capture stays consistent without requiring millimeter-precise placement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eVoice-Focused Performance: Tolerance, Clarity, Endurance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eOmnidirectional: More Forgiving Capture in Interviews\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn reporting, the priority is often to obtain clear and usable speech, even when conditions change rapidly. The MD 42's \u003cstrong\u003eomnidirectional directivity\u003c\/strong\u003e promotes a natural and uniform sound, reducing \"misses\" caused by poor axis alignment. This is a concrete advantage for quick exchanges, vox pops, and spontaneous speech where speed and securing the result are essential.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eReduced Unwanted Noise: Wind, Plosives, and Handling\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe MD 42 incorporates a \u003cstrong\u003edouble membrane protection system\u003c\/strong\u003e, designed to better contain wind noise and plosives. Its \u003cstrong\u003eelastic capsule suspension\u003c\/strong\u003e contributes to \u003cstrong\u003estrong handling noise suppression\u003c\/strong\u003e : a key point whenever the microphone is handheld, pointed towards a speaker, or constantly repositioned during an interview.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eErgonomics and Robustness: Made for Field Use\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThanks to its \u003cstrong\u003eextra-long body\u003c\/strong\u003e, the grip is more stable and comfortable, helping maintain a consistent distance and limiting unintentional rubbing noises. The \u003cstrong\u003emetal construction\u003c\/strong\u003e and black special steel grille are adapted to field constraints, while preserving a sound signature focused on \u003cstrong\u003espoken voice\u003c\/strong\u003e and the reliability expected for broadcast applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e@media(max-width:632px){table[data-wb-spec]{display:grid;grid-template-columns:minmax(0,1fr) minmax(0,1fr)}table[data-wb-spec] colgroup{display:none}table[data-wb-spec] tbody,table[data-wb-spec] tr{display:contents}table[data-wb-spec] td{display:block;overflow-wrap:anywhere;grid-row:var(--wb-l);background-color:var(--wb-lb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[data-r]{grid-row:var(--wb-r);background-color:var(--wb-rb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[colspan=\"2\"]{grid-column:1\/-1}table[data-wb-spec] td:empty{display:none}}\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003ctable data-wb-spec style=\"width:100%;table-layout:fixed\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:1;--wb-r:4;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency response\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e40 Hz -
