The Essential Tool for Field Reporting

The Sennheiser MD 42 is a high-quality handheld dynamic microphone specifically engineered for the fast-paced world of field reporting and interviews. Whether you are conducting a man-on-the-street interview or reporting from a high-profile event, the MD 42 provides the reliability and clarity required for professional broadcasting. Its long-handle design and robust build make it a staple for journalists and field producers globally.

Exceptional Intelligibility in Any Position

The standout feature of the MD 42 is its omnidirectional polar pattern. Unlike directional microphones that require precise aiming, the MD 42 captures sound uniformly from all directions. This is particularly advantageous during fast-moving interviews where the reporter may be alternating between themselves and a guest; the microphone ensures that every word is captured with consistent volume and clarity, regardless of orientation.

Built for the Rigors of the Road

Field production is notoriously tough on equipment, and the MD 42 is built to meet that challenge. The microphone is encased in a durable metal housing that protects the sensitive internal components from impacts. Furthermore, the internal shock-mount system drastically reduces the "thumps" and rustle associated with handling, while the specialized sound-inlet basket acts as a primary defense against wind noise and plosives during outdoor shoots.

Trusted Broadcast Heritage

The MD 42 continues Sennheiser’s legacy of providing top-tier audio solutions for the broadcast industry. Its ability to deliver natural, transparent sound without the need for external power makes it a dependable choice for mobile news teams in Pakistan, the UAE, and Africa. From high-definition television segments to live radio broadcasts, the MD 42 ensures that your audio matches the high standards of your visual production.
