The {{PAGENAME}} is an outstanding microphone for noisy stages and easily stands in for the [[Sennheiser MD 445]] when I need to cut through the mix and get maximum gain before feedback~~. It's an odd nod to nostalgia and showmanship~~.

The {{PAGENAME}} is an outstanding microphone for noisy stages. It's an odd nod to nostalgia and showmanship. There's nothing like it on a stage.

Sound wise, it and easily stands in for the recently released [[Sennheiser MD 445]] when I need to cut through the mix and get maximum gain before feedback.

The {{PAGENAME}} has not displaced the [[Sennheiser MD 445]] that I can toss into a gig bag. I might be more discerning about where I'd use the MD 441. When I need to be heard in a loud band setting and want to make a visual statement too, I'll set up the {{PAGENAME}}.

As you should expect from a super cardioid microphone, you want to sing directly into it. However, if you read the instruction manual, there's a hint. When using the brilliance switch, sing over the microphone instead of directly into it.

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.
