Neumann MCM 114 SET CELLO is a complete set for using the Miniature Clip Mic (MCM) system to the strings of a cello, below the bridge.
The full kit includes KK 14 capsule, SH 150 gooseneck, KC 1 cable brace, AC 31 cable, MCM 100 output stage, WS 110 wind shield and MC 2 clip – all supplied in a handy soft case.
We’ll get to the ‘clip’ part in a moment, but the start of this kit is undoubtedly the KK14 cardioid capsule, providing a “new level of tonal balance, more body, especially in the bass and mid-range, and transparency in the treble”. KK14 overcomes limitations of the electret principles and catches the signature sound of a wide range of acoustic sources. The strict quality control also guarantees an unheard level of tonal consistency. Each capsule sounds exactly the same and delivers the neutral Neumann-style sound, saving time during setup and EQ tuning especially when running multiple microphones simultaneously.
MC2 clip for quick, secure and safe positioning on the strings of a cello below the bridge.
The gooseneck holder rotates and locks in 45° increments to allow you to adjust the orientation.
Weight: 12 g; Strings diameter: 0.6 mm – 2.3 mm
This MCM 114 SET CELLO package will connect to a mixer (requiring +48v phantom power), or you can easily remove the MCM100 XLR adapter, and plug the cable straight into a Sennhieser EW-D or EW100 / 500 G4 transmitter. If you need to use a different wireless system, other cables are additionally available, including AC32 (Lemo 3 pin), AC33 (MicroDot), and AC34 (mini 4-pin XLR).
