Full Description

A legend that speaks for itself

Appearing in the hands of legendary performers such as Prince and Stevie Nicks, the MD 431 II boasts a rich history in both live sound and studio recording. It's also an excellent choice for capturing snares and percussion, giving a crisp sound with plenty of impacts. This second-generation design improves on the original with a new ultra-rugged steel housing and a refined steel mesh grille, as well as a shock-mounted capsule and hum-compensating coil. The result? An incredibly versatile microphone with a sound that is sought-after by engineers, artists, broadcasters and more all over the world.

Feature-rich and well constructed

A new recessed noiseless on/off magnetic reed switch gives you the ability to instantly mute your microphone when not in use, avoiding any unwanted audio capture at any time. The switch can also be locked in the 'ON' position to prevent any accidental drop-outs mid-performance. The MD 431 II offers high feedback rejection, as well as ultra-low handling and mechanical noise. Plus, with a custom-tailored frequency response and 2kHz presence boost, you can experience transparent audio reproduction with outstanding clarity. This powerful mic gives you the freedom to perform exactly the way you want to.
