Product Overview

The MCM 114 Woodwinds Set is engineered specifically for the unique acoustic and physical requirements of woodwind instruments. At its core is the KK 14 electret capsule, which overcomes the tonal limitations of traditional miniature microphones to provide a level of consistency previously unheard of. The set includes everything needed for a professional setup: the high-fidelity capsule, a flexible gooseneck, the instrument-safe MC 5 strap clip for mounting on cylindrical bodies, a locking connection cable, and the MCM 100 XLR output stage.

Product Description

The Precision of the KK 14 Capsule:

Woodwind instruments require a microphone that can capture subtle breath details and complex harmonics without sounding "thin" or "nasal." The KK 14 delivers a balanced, full-bodied sound that captures the instrument's rich character. With an incredible Max SPL of 153 dB, it handles the most powerful fortissimo passages without distortion, while its low self-noise ensures that the most subtle nuances of a solo woodwind performance remain pristine.

Instrument-Safe MC 5 Strap Mount:

The included MC 5 clip is designed to mount the microphone securely to the body of woodwind instruments using a flexible, non-slip strap. This design is favored by professional woodwind players because it can be threaded around complex keywork without interfering with playability. The strap and clip feature soft-touch rubber padding to ensure a firm, slip-free grip that is completely safe for the instrument's wood or metal finish.

Flexible and Stable Positioning:

The SH 150 gooseneck (150 mm) provides the flexibility to aim the capsule exactly where it’s needed—typically toward the tone holes or the bell. To ensure the microphone stays perfectly in place during a performance, the holder on the MC 5 clip locks in 45-degree increments. This prevents the gooseneck from sagging or shifting during fast fingerwork, providing a reliable and repeatable sound for every concert.

Modular and Versatile Connectivity:

This set is built for maximum flexibility on the road. 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 musicians who require wireless freedom, the modular cables can be swapped for optional adapters compatible with Sennheiser, Shure, and Lectrosonics wireless beltpacks.

Professional Discreet Appearance:

Every component of the MCM 114 set features a sleek, non-reflective Black finish. This ensures that the microphone hardware remains virtually invisible to the audience and cameras, preserving the elegant aesthetic of the woodwind instrument during televised performances or elite orchestral events.
