Home / Neumann 008711 Miniature Clip Microphone MCM 114 set brass/sax/uni True Neumann sound for close miking acoustic instruments in live applications.
Product Overview
The MCM 114 Brass/Sax/Uni Set is engineered to handle the intense sound pressure and physical vibrations of wind and percussion instruments. The core of the system is the KK 14 electret capsule, which offers a level of tonal consistency and natural warmth previously unseen in miniature microphones. The set includes a flexible SH 150 gooseneck, the instrument-safe MC 6 universal clamp, a locking connection cable, and the MCM 100 XLR output stage for a complete wired professional setup.
Product Description
The Precision of the KK 14 Capsule:
Unlike standard miniature capsules that can sound harsh or "thin" under high pressure, the KK 14 captures the full harmonic richness of brass and woodwinds. It features a cardioid polar pattern that provides excellent isolation from other stage instruments. With a staggering Max SPL of 153 dB, it can handle the loudest trumpet blasts or snare hits without clipping or distortion, ensuring your natural tone reaches the mixer exactly as intended.
Universal MC 6 Mounting Clip:
The included MC 6 clamp is the most versatile mounting solution in the MCM line. It features an adjustable 20 mm span, allowing it to clip securely onto instrument bells, drum rims, or even microphone stand rods. To protect your instrument's delicate lacquer or silver plating, the clamp is fully lined with a soft-touch rubber coating, which also provides vital mechanical decoupling to eliminate handling noise.
Flexible and Stable Positioning:
The SH 150 gooseneck (150 mm) allows for surgical placement of the capsule relative to the bell or sound source. To ensure the microphone stays exactly where you aim it, the holder on the MC 6 clip locks in 45-degree increments. This prevents the gooseneck from sagging due to gravity or movement, providing a reliable and repeatable sound for every performance.
Wired and Wireless Ready:
This set is designed for maximum flexibility. For wired applications, the included MCM 100 output stage converts the signal to a balanced XLR for direct connection to a mixer or interface using standard phantom power. For wireless freedom, the system’s modular cables can be swapped for optional adapters compatible with Sennheiser, Shure, and Lectrosonics wireless beltpacks.
Professional Discreet Look:
Finished in a sleek, non-reflective Black, every component of the MCM 114 set is designed to be visually unobtrusive. This allows the audience and cameras to focus on the performance and the instrument, rather than the gear, making it the preferred choice for televised concerts and elite orchestral stages.
