Neumann MCM 114 STEREO SET PIANO Cardioid Miniature Clip-On Microphone System

Stereo Precision for Pianos
Dive into the depth of the Neumann MCM 114 STEREO SET PIANO, a state-of-the-art stereo microphone system crafted specifically for the meticulous capturing of grand and upright pianos. This system enhances the traditional electret technology to meet the high Neumann standards, achieving an impressive 153 dB maximum SPL. This capability allows it to articulate the subtleties and robust dynamics of piano performances without any distortion or self-noise, making it ideal for both studio recordings and live stage settings.

Dual KK 14 Capsule for Optimal Sound Capture
Central to this system are two KK 14 cardioid capsule heads, renowned for their natural, neutral sound production even under acoustically challenging conditions. These small-diaphragm electret-condenser capsules are adept at minimizing background noise and isolating the sound of the piano, ensuring clarity and a high fidelity capture. With an expansive 130 dB dynamic range, these capsules handle loud passages and subtle nuances with equal finesse.

Engineered for Secure Placement on Any Piano
Each KK 14 capsule is mounted on a flexible 6" gooseneck, which facilitates precise positioning without the risk of twisting or straining the cables. This setup includes two MC 8 magnetic clips, which attach securely to the body of any piano, preserving the instrument's integrity and aesthetic. The clips' innovative design allows for rapid adjustments and stable placement, ensuring the microphones are optimally located to capture the instrument's full sonic range.

Versatile Connection Options
The MCM 114 STEREO SET PIANO offers exceptional connectivity flexibility, supporting both wired connections via traditional XLR outputs and wireless setups. This dual system comes with two AC 31 cables that feature locking 3.5mm connectors, perfect for linking the capsules to the included MCM 100 phantom power modules or directly to wireless transmitters tailored for live performances.

Durable and Customizable for Long-Term Use
Neumann's commitment to durability is evident in the MCM's modular design, which is built to withstand the demands of both concert tours and daily studio use. The system's components, from the hand-assembled capsules encased in titanium to the easily replaceable goosenecks, are designed for longevity. For musicians who use various instruments, Neumann offers a range of specific mounts and clips, allowing for seamless adaptation to violins, cellos, woodwinds, and more, enhancing the system's versatility and utility.
