Sennheiser MK4 - Sennheiser’s first large-diaphragm side-address microphone

Sennheiser MK4 - Sennheiser’s first large-diaphragm side-address microphone

Sennheiser has lobbed another large-diaphragm condenser mic into the market, this one dubbed the MK4. Manufactured in Germany, the MK4 is in fact Sennheiser’s first large-diaphragm side-address microphone. Providing a powerful, yet warm sound and sporting a nickel-coloured finish, the MK4 was originally developed with the professional project studio user in mind, but is well suited for other recording environments and tough enough for use on stage. It’s also affordable enough that it will likely find its way into the hands of musicians and home studios.
