From the Manufacturer:

The top model of dynamic Sennheiser microphones sounds impressive thanks to its unparalleled presence and openness. The sophisticated and extensive sound calibration of the dynamic, wired microphone creates noticeably greater proximity to the vocals. With its high-rejection supercardioid pickup pattern, the MD 445 provides focus in every application and systematically protects against feedback – even at extreme volumes. Thanks to its rugged metal design, it can withstand extensive wear and tear.

MD 445 Closer. More direct. More intense. The MD 445 pushes the potential of dynamic microphones to the limits of what is technically viable. The direct, focused sound gives every voice greater presence and intensity. Its sophisticated transparency and the richness of the low and middle ranges create an unparalleled acoustic closeness. Time and effort have gone into newly tailoring the acoustics of the MD 445 for modern stages and the most demanding of live productions. An all new highly developed aluminum-copper voice coil forms the basis for a noticeably direct and nuanced sound. This high-rejection supercardioid microphone systematically blocks out ambient noise, guaranteeing maximum protection from feedback in the most demanding environments.

Features:

• High-Rejection Super-Cardioid Pickup Pattern: This tight pickup pattern provides maximum isolation from surrounding instruments and ambient noise, ensuring that vocals remain clear and prominent even in high-volume environments. This design also offers an extremely high level of feedback resistance, allowing vocalists to perform confidently without the risk of unwanted noise.
• Newly Developed Aluminum-Copper Voice Coil: The MD 445 features a lightweight aluminum-copper voice coil that enhances transient response, capturing every nuance of a performance with exceptional detail and transparency. This results in a direct, high-resolution sound that brings a new level of richness and intensity to vocals.
• Robust Metal Construction with Shock-Mounted Capsule: Built to withstand the rigors of touring, the MD 445 boasts a durable metal casing and a shock-mounted capsule that protects against structure-borne noise. This ensures reliability and longevity, even in demanding live performance settings.
• Hum Compensation Coil: To eliminate electromagnetic interference, the MD 445 is equipped with a hum compensation coil, ensuring a clean and uninterrupted signal. This feature is particularly beneficial in environments with high levels of electronic equipment, where interference can be a concern.
