Sennheiser MD435 Review / Test
Today I review the brand new microphone from Sennheiser, the MD435. This is a handheld dynamic microphone that does a great job at background noise rejection and handling noise rejection. The mic tone is very bright and offers some nice shimmer to singing vocals, but for spoken word I personally think the boost in the top end is a bit too much.
