Home / Neumann 008697 Clip Guitar MC 9 Clip to mount the gooseneck of the Miniature Clip Mic system on the rib of a guitar, ukulele, dobro, acoustic bass, cello
The MC 9 is a core component of the modular MCM ecosystem, designed to solve the challenge of miking acoustic instruments in live environments. It allows the KK 14 capsule and SH 150 gooseneck to move with the player, ensuring a consistent sound regardless of movement on stage. With a standard span of 85 mm to 132 mm, and an included reducer that brings the range down to 52 mm – 99 mm, it adapts to everything from a slim-body ukulele to a full-sized acoustic bass.
Surgical Precision in Positioning:
The MC 9 is built for professional performance. The gooseneck holder features an advanced dual-axis pivot that locks in 45-degree increments. This "step-lock" system is essential; it ensures that once you aim the microphone at the "sweet spot" (like the 12th fret or the bridge), it stays exactly there through the entire set. This repeatability allows musicians to focus on their performance rather than their gear.
Safe-Grip for High-Value Instruments:
Neumann understands the value of a fine instrument. The MC 9 utilizes a self-adjusting spring mechanism that applies consistent, gentle pressure. Every contact surface is lined with a specialized soft rubber coating. This padding protects the varnish from scratches and provides vital mechanical isolation, preventing body-handling noise and vibrations from reaching the microphone capsule.
Universal Versatility:
Whether you are miking a resonant dobro, a ukulele, or a cello, the MC 9 adapts in seconds. The tool-free adjustment allows for rapid swaps between instruments during a performance or session. At only 25 grams, it is so lightweight that it does not affect the balance of the guitar or dampen the natural resonance of the soundboard.
Professional Black Aesthetic:
In keeping with the MCM series standard, the MC 9 comes in a sleek, non-reflective Black finish. This ensures that the hardware remains discreet under intense stage lighting or in front of cameras, avoiding distracting glares. It is a durable, professional tool designed to handle the rigors of world tours while maintaining a clean, high-end look.
