    Customers are satisfied with the sound quality of the microphone. They mention that it provides a clean, transparent sound, and is warm and realistic. It handles high sound pressure levels flawlessly, while at the same time being quite sensitive to quiet. The microphone has surprising punch and clarity for recording drums, and it's recommended for dubbing, singing, and acoustic instruments.

    The short answer, this mic is awesome!
    The build is mostly metal (I believe the base is a black plastic of some sort). No switches (which I prefer), no multiple pickup patterns, the mesh grille is quite rigid, essentially just a plain looking condenser mic with beautiful sound qualities. I like the champagne colored finish, but more importantly, the sound is smooth, bright, and has low self noise. Using my MOTU M2 audio interface, it picks up my spoken word very well when the gain is set to about 11 AM. If I want it to be more sensitive (if I am further away) I can set it to 1 PM and it still is well composed. Use a pop filter or foam windscreen to reduce the plosives, although it isn't bad at all especially if you speak into the mic at a slight angle. The quality of the build + sound is truly remarkable at this price point. I got the Sennheiser branded shock mount and a third party foam windscreen to complete the setup.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Surprising Punch and Clarity for recording drums
    Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2019
    The Mk4's are my third pair of "economical" overhead microphones for recording drums in a non-professional studio setting. These are replacing a pair of Audix ADX51s which are still outstanding for recording or live application, but the MK4s just seem to capture a more balanced spectrum of the plethora of sounds produced by a larger drum set with many toms, cymbals, bells and chimes. I started with a single MK4 to use as a mono room mic but during test recording I was so impressed with the balanced sound I decided to get a second one and use these for overheads.

    The MK4 does not have a db pad or bass roll off filter but Sennheiser's specs say it will tolerate 140 db and I can EQ at the board or in the DAW.

    If you are still reading/interested, my first pair of overheads were a set of Audio Technica Pro-37Rs which got plenty of live and studio use. The improvement from the Pro-37R to the Audix is how I perceive going from the Audix to the MK4 for overhead use. I have not used this mic for any other instruments but I would feel comfortable putting it in the same league as an AT-4033 or 4050 but my impression is that it is a bit warmer with maybe less sizzle than the ATs - but I always found the AT-40 series a bit too crisp.
