Product Overview
The MC 6 is the most versatile clamping solution in the MCM series. It is designed to solve the challenge of mounting a professional microphone to the bell of a brass instrument or the rim of a percussion setup without leaving a mark. Featuring a span range of 0 to 20 mm, it can securely attach to thin metal bells as easily as it can to thick wooden rims or standard microphone stand rods. At just 20 grams, its lightweight design ensures that it does not disrupt the instrument's balance for the performer.
Product Description
Surgical Precision in Positioning:
The hallmark of the MC 6 is its advanced rotational mechanics. The gooseneck holder is mounted on a dual-axis pivot that allows for a high degree of movement. To ensure the microphone stays exactly where you put it, the holder locks in 45-degree increments. This "step-lock" system prevents the gooseneck from sagging or shifting during a high-energy performance, allowing you to focus entirely on the music.
Safe-Grip for High-Value Instruments:
Neumann understands that professional instruments are highly sensitive to surface damage. The MC 6 features a high-grade soft rubber coating on all contact surfaces. This provides a dual benefit: it creates a high-friction, slip-free attachment that resists the powerful vibrations of brass instruments, and it acts as a mechanical buffer to protect the instrument’s delicate lacquer or silver plating.
One-Handed, Tool-Free Operation:
Designed for the fast-paced environment of live stage changes, the MC 6 utilizes an intuitive spring mechanism. Most musicians can attach or remove the clamp in seconds using just one hand. This makes it an ideal choice for multi-instrumentalists who need to move their MCM microphone from a saxophone to a trumpet between songs.
Built for the Road:
Constructed from premium reinforced materials, the MC 6 is built to withstand years of touring. As you noted, this clip is available exclusively in a professional Black finish. This non-reflective matte coating ensures that it remains discreet under intense stage lighting, avoiding distracting glares during televised performances or orchestral recordings.
