I have been using a shure sm7b and ev re20 in lieu of the sennheiser md 421

Whereas both aforementioned mics are great in their own rite im kicking myself for holding off on acquiring the md 421

Although i do respect the versatility of others dynamics i have and use in specific occasions such as the sm57 and the e906 the md421 is at a higher level and too much better for recording drums snare toms and kick bass and guitar amps

For voicover or singing work you will need to manage plosives with pop filters or application of compressors

If you are strictly doing voiceover work and dont have appropriate outboard processing gear or experience with processing other mic designs like the ev re series the rode or the heil pr40 may make it easier for you but this microphone has broader applications
