The Neumann MCM 114 SET CELLO Cardioid Miniature Clip Mic (MCM) System is a professional-grade instrument microphone specifically designed for close miking a cello. It is suitable for discerning musicians, engineers, concert venues, equipment rental houses, and event-production companies. This mic uses electret technology that meets Neumann standards, providing a maximum SPL of 153 dB, allowing it to capture the nuances of both loud and soft instruments without introducing distortion or self-noise. The mic can be securely attached to the instrument and is compatible with both wired and wireless applications. It supports traditional XLR mic preamps for studio recording and wireless transmitters for live performances on stage.
The MCM 114 SET CELLO system includes a KK 14 cardioid capsule head, a flexible 6" gooseneck, and an MC 2 clip for mounting the gooseneck on the instrument. It also comes with an AC 31 cable equipped with 3.5mm locking connectors, which allows you to connect the capsule to either the included MCM 100 48V phantom-powered XLR output-stage module or to the locking mini-jack input found on many Sennheiser wireless transmitters. The system's modular construction ensures a durable and long-lasting performance. Every unit is manually assembled in Germany to maintain Neumann's high standards, resulting in exceptional tonal consistency and the signature Neumann aesthetics and handling.
