Back in the day, we ran an audio post production facility and our audio interests were spread far and wide. One of those interests was microphones, old microphones and unusual types too (our sound engineer liked to hear all the mics he could)
One of our favourites was the MD441 and we kept on hand (just in case) a spare capsule, this one.
Fortunately it was never needed and now that the MD441 has gone back to Europe, this capsule is an orphan looking for a new home!
Lots of other weird and wonderful audio related "bits & pieces" will be advertised over time - it's time to clean up the workshop shelves!
SENNHEISER - Dynamic Microphone Capsule
Made in Germany
This is not one of those TERRIBLE 'knockoffs' from China
Model MD441
Sennheiser stock # 37133
The 441 came in a few "flavours" meaning a suffix was added. So you might have a -2, -N, -U or U3 then it matters not, the designations refer to the connector type fitted - the basic structure of this beautifully engineered microphone was the same
I also seem to recall this capsule is fine with the BF-541 as well - if you have one of those, best to check suitability first yourself.
This capsule is as supplied originally i.e WITHOUT the basket (lower end of the capsule) which attaches with screws - if you are replacing your capsule, you should already have this basket with the original capsule being replaced.
BRAND NEW IN THE ORIGINAL SENNHEISER BOX
Actually the box had two of these capsules inside, the other capsule has already found a new home
Here is an informative video about what is inside the MD441 and how to treat it with the respect it deserves - heed this guys advice if you are doing this yourself!
Quite frankly I cannot remember what we paid for this all those years ago and I notice that they are extremely hard to find online - no sellers of authentic capsules except one guy who is asking the price of the complete microphone, for just the capsule! I always try to be 'fair and reasonable" and hope my asking price reflects this ...
