=== ~~Brilliance Switch~~ ===

=== Roll-Off Filter ===

At the end of the microphone there is a unique roll-off filter controlled by a five position rotary switch marked '''M ... S'''.

('''M'''usic ...'''S'''peech)

Sennheiser describes it this way.

:When a directional microphone is spoken into from a close distance, the lower frequencies are overemphasized. If this effect is not desired, it may be levelled by aid of a roll-off filter. From the diagram (Figure 5) showing the influence of the roll-off filter, it can be seen that in position M (music) the frequency response curve is not altered in any way. In position S (speech) however, the frequencies below 700 Hz are attenuated by up to 14 dB. Between the positions M and S the low frequency response can be altered in three defined steps.

The MD 441 allows an accentuation in the upper frequency range. It can be chosen using a switch located on the underside of the microphone. This switch can be easily operated using a pencil or small pin. If the switch is brought into position =+*= the frequencies above 3 kHz are accentuated by about 5 dB. This switch position is recommended when the microphone is being used by a vocal soloist. The microphone can then be held vertical in front of the chest and the singer sings practically "over the top". Even then the sound remains brilliant.

:The five positions of the roll-off filter can be combined with the two positions of the brilliance switch. In this way, it is possible to choose between ten different frequency response settings

The five positions of the roll -off filter can be combined with the two positions of the brilliance switch. In this way it is possible to choose between ten different frequency response settings
