A Capsule Designed for Modern Stages and Demanding Live Productions
The MM 445 is part of a clearly "live vocal performance" oriented approach: maximizing the potential of a dynamic transducer while meeting today's challenges (high sound pressure levels, stage monitors, heavily loaded environments). Its acoustic adaptation has been carefully developed to deliver a sound that is both sophisticated and immediately usable in concert, with a proximity effect that enhances timbre and presence.
This capsule emphasizes a remarkably direct and nuanced sound, relying notably on an aluminum-copper acoustic coil. The result: a lively response, intelligibility that remains stable as the mix thickens, and a voice that retains its impact without needing excessive EQ boosting.
Who Is It For and What Are Its Uses?
The MM 445 capsule is aimed at singers, sound engineers, and stage crews looking for a dynamic microphone capsule capable of handling high sound pressure levels on stage while maintaining a precise and "close" sound. It excels in contexts where maximizing gain before feedback and reducing bleed is crucial: compact stages, close drum kits, generous backline, TV sets, events, reverberant venues.
Thanks to its supercardioid directivity, it is also suitable for artists who move around a lot: the voice remains focused, and peripheral noises are better contained. In practice, this facilitates live mixing, improves lyric clarity, and helps maintain a sense of control even when the stage atmosphere becomes intense.

Questions frequently asked
Is the Sennheiser MM 445 suitable for loud stage monitors?
Its supercardioid pattern with high rejection reduces the pickup of surrounding noise and allows for higher gain before feedback. The capsule is designed to remain stable as monitor levels increase.
What is the polar pattern of this microphone capsule?
The supercardioid pattern focuses the pickup on the voice and limits stage bleed.
What vocal character does the aluminum-copper coil provide?
The aluminum-copper voice coil contributes to precise attack and nuanced reproduction. The bass and midrange remain rich, while the vocal presence is designed to maintain clarity within a dense mix.
Can the MM 445 handle loud vocals and noisy stages?
With a maximum sound pressure level rated at 163 dB at 1 kHz, this dynamic capsule is meant for high-level live environments. It suits tight stages, close drum kits, and substantial backline setups.
What are the dimensions and weight of the capsule?
The size measures 51 mm in diameter and 67 mm in length, with a weight of 114 g. The specified frequency response ranges from 40 Hz to 20 kHz.
