Sennheiser MD-421 U-5

A Sennheiser MD-421 U-5 microphone is amongst the assortment of microphones used by Stewart at his home studio.

According to a 2022 twitter post from Stewart, this microphone was the one used on Stewart's tom-toms during the Shea Stadium concert on 18 August 1983 - the concert often regarded as the moment The Police ultimately reached their peak as a band. It is believed Stewart might have obtained this microphone from late sound engineer/tour manager Kim Turner.
