Sennheiser MD 42 ENG Handheld Microphone

Sennheiser MD 42 Handheld Omnidirectional ENG Microphone

The Sennheiser MD 42 is a professional-grade handheld microphone built for electronic news gathering (ENG), field production (EFP), and other demanding broadcast environments. Engineered with durability and clarity in mind, this dynamic mic delivers clean, intelligible audio in fast-paced, real-world situations.

Built for Reliable Performance in the Field

Designed for journalists and media professionals, the MD 42 features a rugged all-metal construction that can handle the wear and tear of everyday field use. Whether you're on the streets, at a live event, or reporting in unpredictable weather, this mic is built to last.

Clear, Natural Audio Capture

At the heart of the MD 42 is a dynamic capsule with an omnidirectional polar pattern, allowing it to capture sound from all directions. This is especially useful during interviews or fast-moving shoots, where perfect mic placement isn't always possible. It ensures consistent voice pickup without needing to aim the mic directly at the speaker.

Low Handling Noise for Clean Recordings

The microphone’s internally shock-mounted capsule reduces handling noise, helping you achieve cleaner audio even when you're on the move. This feature is crucial for mobile journalists who need dependable sound with minimal distractions.

Wind-Resistant Design

To further enhance outdoor usability, the sound inlet basket includes built-in wind protection, shielding the microphone from ambient gusts and minimizing unwanted noise. This makes it easier to capture clear audio in outdoor interviews or noisy environments.

A Trusted Tool for Broadcast Professionals

Whether you're recording interviews, conducting street reporting, or handling live news coverage, the Sennheiser MD 42 offers the reliability and sound quality required in professional broadcasting. Its no-nonsense design and strong performance make it a go-to choice for ENG crews worldwide.
