Sennheiser Announces Return of the MD 9235 Microphone Capsule

Sennheiser has announced a new production run for its acclaimed MD 9235 microphone head, bringing the legendary capsule back to its wireless handheld line-up.

A long-standing favourite for its ability to deliver clear, detailed vocals while effectively rejecting crosstalk and high on-stage noise, the cardioid mic head was originally discontinued several years ago. Despite the launch of successor models, the company continued to receive requests from the global touring community to revive the 9235 due to its specific performance characteristics in demanding live environments.

"When the MM 435 mic head and the MM 445 high-rejection head suceeded the MD 9235 in 2020, they quickly built their own fanbase," explains product manager Sebastian Schmitz. "But we still had enquiries for the MD 9235 coming in, even after years had passed since its discontinuation. So we sat together with our development and manufacturing engineers and examined how we could revive the 9235. We had samples thoroughly tested by several touring sound engineers and they were thrilled to have the MD 9235 back."

As before, the MD 9235 has been meticulously crafted to accurately and powerfully reproduce vocals while rejecting ambient noise from the sides and rear, making it the perfect choice for applications where the talent moves dynamically and often in front of the PA.
With its lightweight aluminium-copper microphone coil moving faster than conventional coils, the capsule delivers incredible detail and transparency even in the most challenging environments.
The MD 9235 retails at EUR 599 MSRP and is delivered complete with a pouch and five replacement foam inlays.
