hey!

I´m about to lay my hands on a pair of Senheiser MD 421´s. They are
complete with original holders, but there are one thing that puzzels
me - they have no bass roll off switches?! I have never seen a MD 421
without one, and I never use the feature. Does anybody know if there
is something special with this model? Is it as good as a "standard"
421, with the bass roll of switch?!

Does it have an XLR connector or a Tuchel? The L suffix is the one with
the XLR connector and the low-cut network, but there are a whole bunch of
other models out there that were common.

If you want to change to an L model, you can order a barrel connector assembly
ans replace it.

I have a pair of MD521 with XLR connectors, no switch, marketed as
part of the "Blackfire" series in North America. They sound like MD421
with the switch in the M position.
