Ah thats no good, as one of my 421 also needs a new xlr connector/socket which fits into the base. Its hard wired to a lead at the moment. Really ghetto, im glad not many people see them.

The most annoying mic clip ever made. I have four of these bastaaardos. With a very large possibility of fall outy on the floory via the built in trigger on the clip.



So conveniently destructive. ;-/

Well its working for me so far, im just dreading the day the lead is yanked too hard and those brittle little wires are yanked straight outta there.

I was quoted $113 each from Syntec a couple of years ago - needless to say mine are still gaffa taped together!!

A fairly quick fix to get you through is a Wireless Mic Clip or Butterfly Mic Clip which is larger and will accommodate the body of the 421 - with a little bit of electrical tape to hold it in place especially for drums etc. I've got an old MD419 which never came with a clip which this method works well for too.

53 bucks US delivered, looks like. If you can get it when the exchange rate is good, seems like a good enough price.

Hello,


I've used Sennheiser MD421 II Microphone for recording and live sound on acoustic guitars and vocals. It's really a nice setup at economic price.

I've found the best fix is the rode shock mount clips. hold the mic body really well. and cheap
