The Senheisser 421s that I've used for many years, coughed up a rather bizarre secret a few months ago. I saw an old photo of Herr Goebbels doing one of his Nazi propoganda speeches from the mid 1930s and suddenly realized...."Hey he's using a '421'"!

Surely this mic., great though it is, can't have been around in the same form for THAT long! Anybody know?

I was first turned on to it by a techie telling me that the 421 was a GREAT drummer's mic. but that Elton John loved to sing through them.

Cheers
