Neumann MCM 114 Set Drums
Product information "Neumann MCM 114 Set Drums"
Miniature Clip Microphone:
- True Neumann sound for close miking of acoustic instruments in live applications
- Raises the electret principle to Neumann sound quality
- Multiplies ROI tenfold through durable construction
- One capsule for both very quiet and extremely loud instruments
- Compatible with all major wireless systems
THE NEW REFERENCE FOR CLOSE MIKING
The Miniature Clip Mic MCM system sets a high benchmark for electret microphones. In typical Neumann fashion the system reproduces the characteristic sound of acoustic instruments in live situations perfectly. It also defines new standards for natural sound, handling, reliable attachment and longevity. The system includes nine instrument-specific mounting clips for a wide range of acoustic instruments. The modular overall design allows easy replacement of individual components and guarantees an unusually attractive “Return on Investment”.
THE CAPSULE: PERFECTION IN EIGHT PARTS
A new level of tonal balance, a more natural bass and midrange and transparent highs: the newly developed KK 14 with cardioid characteristic overcomes previous limitations of the electret principle and fully captures the characteristic sound of acoustic instruments. Neumann developed a unique, layered design for this purpose. All components were conceived for optimal performance, manufactured individually and then assembled by hand. Strict quality control guarantees an unprecedented degree of sonic consistency: every capsule sounds exactly the same and delivers the typically neutral Neumann sound. That saves time during setup and soundcheck, because manufacturing tolerances no longer need to be compensated for with EQ. With an extremely low self-noise (23 dBA) and a maximum sound pressure level of 153 dB SPL, the KK 14 delivers perfect sound with both very quiet and very loud instruments. The titanium housing is extremely robust and designed for many years of live use.
COMPATIBILITY
The Miniature Clip Mic MCM system includes interchangeable cables for 3.5 mm jack, Lemo, Mini-XLR 4-pin and MicroDot – no adapters required. The microphone can also be used wired with the MCM 100 output stage and a 3.5 mm jack.
MOUNTING OPTIONS
As simple as it is reliable on every instrument: a wide selection of mounting options is a fundamental part of the Miniature Clip Mic MCM system. The mechanics protect the most sensitive surfaces and reduce mounting to seconds – usually with just one hand. The flexible gooseneck can be aligned precisely and fixed on the instrument clips in one or two axes in 45-degree steps.
