Ready for the Stage & the Studio

The Sennheiser MK4 Microphone consists of a key frequency response that guarantees a natural reproduction of the sound source. This makes it incredibly well-suited to home studios, small-time production hubs, and more. With the ability to accurately reproduce such a variety of sounds, the MK4 centres around its interior 1” true condenser capsule, which yields a tone similar to that of the e 965 pro-level vocal mic.

Cardioid Polar Pattern

The MK4 Microphone employs a cardioid polar pattern, which resolves the finest sound structures, as well as picking up sound from either side of the mic without colouration. This means that overall quality of sound remains unaltered and raw; ideal for high-end vocal and instrumental recording. This pickup pattern also puts emphasis on vivid mid-tones and a detailed bass range. By doing so, the MK4 is incredibly versatile and well-suited to the studio, stage, as well as a whole host of other recording environments.

FAQs:

How does the 24kt plating enhance sound quality?

The expansive 1” diaphragm being plated in 24kt gold actively enhances conductivity, resist corrosion, and yields a tone similar to that of the e 965 vocal mic.

How would you define a cardioid polar pattern?

A cardioid polar pattern rejects the sound from behind the microphone, whilst focusing on picking up sound from the side without colouration. This defines the MK 4 as a pro-level studio microphone suited to a wide variety of audio recording situations.

Can you connect the MK4 microphone directly to a mobile device?

As a large diaphragm condenser mic requiring 48V phantom power, the MK4 is unable to be connected directly to a mobile device.

How reliable is the Sennheiser MK4 Microphone?

The MK4 Microphone is incredibly reliable and rugged, which makes it such a staple for so many creatives.
