The Sennheiser MD 445 is my new favourite microphone for noisy stages where I need to cut through the mix and get maximum gain before feedback. This has not displaced the [[Neumann KMS 105]] which is still my go to microphone for solo shows or quiet concerts. But when I need to be heard in a loud band setting, the MD 445 stands out. | The Sennheiser MD 445 is my new favourite microphone for noisy stages where I need to cut through the mix and get maximum gain before feedback.

As you should expect from a super cardioid microphone, you want to sing directly into it. And when you do, you are well rewarded. It has a lift in the upper midrange and details in the highs that comes close to sounding like a good condenser microphone. This also helps me to project, compete, and be heard in a busy stage mix. | As you should expect from a super cardioid microphone, you want to sing directly into it.
