German-Engineered Studio Sound: Sennheiser MK 4

The Sennheiser MK 4 is a professional 1-inch true condenser microphone crafted to bring true studio-grade sound quality to musicians, voiceover artists, podcasters, and audio engineers.

Its precise cardioid pickup pattern effectively rejects off-axis acoustic reflections and room noise, ensuring your lead vocals and instruments sit effortlessly in the mix. Available now in our Sennheiser pro audio store catalog, the MK 4 combines audiophile acoustic performance with solid German construction.
