Sennheiser
MD 441-U
Dynamic · Supercardioid · 30–20,000 Hz · a rider regular
- 30 Hz to 20 kHz from a moving coil, which is the widest published range of any dynamic microphone in this library.
- A five-position bass roll-off and a two-position brilliance switch — more tone shaping on the microphone than most channel strips offer.
- The wedge-shaped body is unmistakable and, at 421 g, is why it ships with a proper yoke rather than a clip.
Frequency response
No response curve yet.
MicSense only draws a curve traced from a graph the manufacturer actually publishes — it never estimates one from the microphone’s class. Sennheiser publishes figures for the MD 441-U but no response graph, so the numbers are in the spec table below and the chart stays empty.
Polar pattern
Generated from the first-order directivity formula for supercardioid. It illustrates the pattern type — it is not a measurement of this individual model.

What it gets used for
- Toms
- Guitar cab
- Horn / brass
- Broadcast
- FOH vocal
MicSense tags microphones by the job on a live stage, not by studio category — so you can filter for “kick in” or “monitor vocal” instead of working backwards from “large-diaphragm condenser”.

MicSense lets you put up to four microphones side by side — spec table, overlaid response curves and polar diagrams on one screen. Free with a free Squaresmile account.
