Neumann MCM 114 Brass and Sax Set Small-diaphragm Cardioid Condenser Microphone System for Brass and Saxophone

The Miniature Clip Mic (MCM) System brings signature Neumann audio quality to all of your live acoustic instrument miking applications. The MCM-114-SET-B-S-U microphone kit is designed for use on the bell of a trumpet, trombone, sax, or other horns. It can also be mounted on percussion instruments and pole stands.

The kit includes an SH 150 gooseneck with a KK 14 cardioid capsule, a universal clip-style instrument mount, and everything else needed for placement and connection to a wired 3-pin XLR input. The MCM system can also be used with wireless bodypacks (sold separately) thanks to interchangeable cable options (sold separately) that include a 3.5 mm, Lemo, 4-pin mini-XLR, or MicroDot termination. You also get a soft case for storage and transport.

The MCM system allows precise microphone placement, resulting in optimal pickup with minimal impact on the performer or aesthetics.

Beauty in form, function, and result. The Neumann Miniature Clip Mic System for Brass and Saxophone.
