My field interviewing mic for years now!

The MD46 has been my primary interview mic for at least 8 years now. It was originally designed for use by stadium sideline reporters, and is perfect for interviewing people in noisy environments. The pickup design is specifically designed to minimize sound from off-center and more than 18" (or so) away. I retired my original MD46 a couple of years ago because the exterior was scratched and beat to hell (but still produced excellent audio), and immediately replaced it with a new MD46. Note that there's an omnidirectional version (MD44) that is equally bulletproof and would be good for recording natural sound in the field (this one only picks up what you point it at).

You can rely on the Sennheiser MD 46 Cardioid Handheld Dynamic ENG Microphone for professional, high-quality audio recording in challenging environments. This durable and versatile microphone is specifically engineered for live reporting and broadcasting scenarios, with a special emphasis on interview situations.

The MD 46 features a cardioid polar pattern, a design that strategically minimizes background noise and hones in on the sound source. This ensures that your subject's voice is captured with utmost clarity, even in noisy surroundings. Unlike omni microphones that indiscriminately pick up all sounds, the MD 46 prioritizes the subject, enhancing the overall audio quality of your recordings.

This microphone is also designed to combat common audio recording issues such as wind and handling noise. Its robust metal housing provides an extra layer of protection, making it an ideal tool for outdoor use. The package includes a Rycote Square Mic Flag and a microfiber cloth, which further help to reduce wind noise and protect the microphone from dust and scratches.

The MD 46 is not just a microphone, but a reliable tool that eliminates vocal popping, ensuring that your ENG team can conduct smooth, uninterrupted interviews. Trust in the Sennheiser MD 46 Cardioid Handheld Dynamic ENG Microphone for all your professional audio recording needs.
