Product Overview
The MCM 114 Guitar Set is built to capture the rich harmonic complexity of stringed instruments without the restrictions of floor stands. At its core is the KK 14 electret capsule, which offers a level of tonal balance and low-end warmth previously unheard of in miniature microphones. The set includes everything needed for a high-end setup: the high-fidelity capsule, a flexible gooseneck, the instrument-safe MC 9 rib clip, a locking connection cable, and the MCM 100 XLR output stage.
Product Description
The Precision of the KK 14 Capsule:
Acoustic guitars require a microphone that can handle delicate fingerpicking and aggressive strumming with equal finesse. The KK 14 capsule captures the "air" and resonance of the guitar body with incredible accuracy. With a massive Max SPL of 153 dB, it handles high-volume performances without distortion. Its cardioid polar pattern provides excellent isolation, minimizing feedback and "bleed" from other instruments on a loud stage.
Instrument-Safe MC 9 Rib Mounting:
The included MC 9 clip is specifically designed to grip the ribs (sides) of acoustic instruments securely. It features a self-adjusting spring mechanism that fits bodies between 85 mm and 132 mm (and includes a reducer for smaller instruments like ukuleles). To protect the instrument's delicate varnish and provide mechanical isolation, the clip is fully lined with a soft-touch rubber coating, ensuring that handling noise does not reach the capsule.
Flexible and Stable Positioning:
The SH 150 gooseneck (150 mm) provides the flexibility to position the capsule at the perfect "sweet spot"—typically near the 12th fret or the bridge. To ensure the microphone stays exactly where you aim it, the holder on the MC 9 clip locks in 45-degree increments. This prevents the gooseneck from sagging or shifting while the musician moves on stage, providing a reliable and repeatable sound for every song.
Wired and Wireless Ready:
This set is designed for maximum versatility. For wired applications, the included MCM 100 output stage converts the signal to a balanced XLR for direct connection to a mixer using standard phantom power. For guitarists who need total freedom of movement, the modular cables can be swapped for optional adapters compatible with Sennheiser, Shure, and Lectrosonics wireless beltpacks.
Professional Discreet Look:
Every component of the MCM 114 set features a sleek, non-reflective Black finish. This ensures that the hardware remains virtually invisible to the audience and cameras, keeping the visual focus on the artist and their instrument during televised performances or professional video shoots.
