Home / Neumann 008702 Universal Strap Clip MC 5 Universal strap clip to mount the gooseneck of the Miniature Clip Mic system on a oboe, clarinet, recorder, bassoon, flute, harp
The MC 5 is the "problem solver" of the MCM series. While other clips are instrument-specific, the MC 5 utilizes a flexible strap mechanism that can wrap around cylindrical or irregular bodies of varying diameters. It is engineered to hold the SH 150 gooseneck firmly in place, allowing the KK 14 capsule to be positioned precisely over tone holes or soundboards. Its lightweight, padded design ensures that even the most delicate vintage woodwinds remain scratch-free and acoustically vibrant.
Universal Woodwind Compatibility:
Woodwind instruments like the clarinet and oboe require a mounting solution that doesn't interfere with complex keywork. The MC 5 features a slim-profile base and a soft, adjustable strap that can be threaded under or around keys. It is also the ideal solution for flutes and recorders, where a traditional clamp might be too heavy or risk denting the thin-walled tubing.
Innovative 45° Locking Holder:
Like all professional MCM mounts, the MC 5 includes a rotating gooseneck holder that locks in $45^{\circ}$ increments. This allows you to angle the microphone perfectly toward the source of the sound while keeping the strap securely fastened. This repeatability is essential for touring musicians who need the same "sweet spot" at every venue.
Gentle and Secure "Safe-Grip":
Neumann’s commitment to instrument safety is evident in the MC 5’s construction. The underside of the clip and the strap itself are lined with a specialized soft-touch rubber. This provides two critical benefits: it creates a high-friction "no-slip" grip that prevents the mic from sliding during performance, and it acts as a mechanical decoupler to stop key-click noise from reaching the microphone capsule.
Adaptable for Harps and More:
Beyond woodwinds, the MC 5 is an excellent choice for harpists. It can be strapped around the neck or internal struts of a harp to position the microphone for a natural, balanced pickup of the strings. Its Matte Black finish ensures that it remains visually discreet on stage, blending into the shadows of the instrument.
