Product Overview

The MCM 114 Stereo Set (008712) is specifically curated for the complex acoustic demands of the piano. By using two synchronized KK 14 electret capsules, it eliminates the tonal inconsistencies often found in miniature mic systems. The system includes two of everything for a full stereo setup: high-fidelity capsules, SH 150 goosenecks, and the innovative MC 8 magnetic mounts that attach securely to the piano's cast-iron frame (plate) without any risk of damage to the instrument.

Product Description

A New Reference in Stereo Miking:

The heart of this set is the KK 14 capsule, which elevates electret technology to true Neumann standards. It delivers an incredible level of tonal balance, offering more body in the bass and midrange while maintaining transparent, silky highs. Because each capsule is hand-assembled and strictly tested, the stereo pair provides unmatched tonal consistency, ensuring a perfectly centered and phase-accurate stereo image of your piano.

Revolutionary MC 8 Magnetic Mounting:

Traditional piano miking often requires bulky stands that clutter the stage. The MC 8 Magnetic Clip solves this by allowing you to attach the goosenecks directly to the piano's metal plate. The magnets are strong enough to ensure total stability but are designed with a protective coating to be gentle on the instrument's surfaces. This "invisible" mounting allows the piano lid to be closed even with the microphones inside, which is ideal for isolating the piano from other loud instruments on stage.

Extreme Dynamic Range and Precision:

Whether it’s a delicate pianissimo or a thundering fortississimo, the MCM 114 handles it all. With a staggering Max SPL of 153 dB, these microphones will never clip, even when placed directly over the strings of a concert grand. The cardioid polar pattern is precisely tuned to minimize "bleed" from the rest of the orchestra, giving you a clean, isolated signal for your mix.

Modular and Road-Ready Connectivity:

The set includes two MCM 100 XLR output stages for a professional wired connection using standard 48V phantom power. However, the system is fully modular; the included AC 31 cables feature locking 3.5 mm connectors that can be easily swapped for adapters compatible with Sennheiser, Shure, or Lectrosonics wireless transmitters, giving performers total freedom on stage.
