Sennheiser MD46

As someone who does a lot of work at noisy events, conferences and festivals this mic has been fantastic. It isolates interview subjects beautifully while keeping a very nice natural sound. I currently own two, one is about 6 years old while the other is about 3 and they both work as new. Pair it with a wireless system and it works great as an ENG style mic, Ive used them both with the Rode and Sennheiser systems and had no complaints. Ive also stuck it on a C-stand for long form interviews and had great results. I would recommend buying a foam windshield for pops and shooting outside. A great value Mic

This is my second MD 46 mic...bought my first one six years ago and took it all over the world before it finally started developing some loose connections that cause noise when moving the mic during interviews. I wouldn't have picked anything else to replace it! My original wore like iron and was so sturdy that one could drive nails with it. Best interview mic around.

Great mic for the price. Very little disturbance while holding. A bit heavy but not really an issue

Ok... I love the sound of this mic. The longer handle has a nice reach and of course the construction is what you would expect. Since I am a fan of this company I don't mind the Sennheiser logo where it is but for some people I can see where this could be an issue. When used with an SKP100 or SKP300 it is rather long but when a flag is on it you still have a good place for handling it. Very little if any handling noise when used with just a little common sense. I actually go out of my way to do personal projects just so I can use this Mic.

Great sound quality, minimal handling noise. My only complaint is the giant logo on the side. For a hand held mic that's going to be on camera the logo is just too big and in the worst spot. Comes with a nice plastic foam lined case.
