Sennheiser MD211 N in excellent condition tested and sounding great as it should

The Sennheiser STUDIO MICROPHONE MD 211 is a high-quality dynamic microphone designed for studio use. Here’s a detailed description based on the provided information:

Key Features:

1. Transducer Principle: Dynamic (pressure transducer), making it durable and suitable for high sound pressure levels without distortion.
2. Directional Characteristic: Omnidirectional, capturing sound equally from all directions.
3. Frequency Response: 30 Hz to 20,000 Hz, providing a broad and flat frequency range for accurate sound reproduction.
4. Low Handling Noise: Designed to minimize noise from handling or movement.
5. No Proximity Effect: Performs consistently even at very close distances, unlike cardioid microphones.
6. High Sound Pressure Handling: No distortion even at extremely high SPLs.

• MD 211 N: Features a balanced, low-impedance output with a 3-pin DIN 41524 connector.

Technical Specifications:

• Nominal Impedance: 200 Ω.
• Sensitivity: 1.6 mV/Pa (±2.5 dB) at 1 kHz (~ –76 dBV).
• Magnetic Interference: Minimal (40 µV/5 µT).
• Connectors: MD 211 N: 3-pin DIN plug Small Tuchel
• Weight: ~137 g (MD 211 N) / ~147 g (MD 211 U).
• Dimensions: 22 mm diameter, 133–141 mm length (compact design).

Usage Recommendations:

• Impedance Matching: Works best with amplifier inputs 5–10 times its impedance (200 Ω), though it remains functional even at matched impedance (with a slight level drop).
• Applications: Ideal for studio recordings, broadcasting, and environments requiring precise, uncolored sound capture with minimal handling noise.

Reputation:

Renowned for its reliability, flat frequency response, and versatility in professional audio settings.

Note: The frequency response graph (not fully visible in the screenshot) likely shows a flat curve with tolerance limits, confirming its neutral sound reproduction.

This microphone is a robust, no-frills choice for critical studio applications where accuracy and durability are paramount.
