Product Overview

The MC 7 is the specialized percussion solution within the modular MCM ecosystem. Recording drums requires a mount that is both rock-solid and acoustically isolated. The MC 7 provides a clamping span of 0 to 20 mm, making it compatible with almost any standard drum rim or hoop. Its ultra-lightweight 10-gram construction ensures that it does not dampen the natural resonance of the drum shell or interfere with the drummer’s performance.

Product Description

Reliable Stability for High-Impact Play:

Drums are the most physically demanding instruments for any microphone mount. The MC 7 is built with a high-tension spring mechanism that grips the rim with enough force to resist the shock of heavy hitting while maintaining a low profile. This "set-and-forget" reliability is essential for live tours where drums are moved and played with high energy every night.

Precision Directional Locking:

To capture the perfect "crack" of a snare or the "thump" of a tom, microphone placement must be exact. The MC 7 features a gooseneck holder that rotates and locks in 45-degree increments. This prevents the microphone from shifting or the cable from twisting, ensuring the KK 14 capsule remains at the precise angle and distance you dialed in during soundcheck.

Protecting Your Shells:

Drum rims can be sensitive to scratches, especially on high-end custom kits. The MC 7 is fully lined with a protective rubber coating. This serves two purposes: it prevents metal-on-metal contact to protect the instrument's chrome or lacquer finish, and it provides vital mechanical isolation, preventing the "ring" of the rim from being transmitted through the mount to the capsule.

Discreet Black Aesthetic:

As per Neumann's professional standard for the MCM series, the MC 7 comes in a sleek Matte Black finish. This ensures the hardware disappears into the drum kit’s silhouette, preventing distracting reflections for cameras and audiences. It is a durable, professional tool designed to handle the rigors of the road while maintaining a clean, high-end look.
