Neumann MCM 114 SET BRASS/SAX/UNI Cardioid Miniature Clip-On Microphone System

Aimed at discerning musicians and engineers, concert venues, equipment rental houses, and event-production companies, the Neumann MCM 114 SET BRASS/SAX/UNI Cardioid Miniature Clip Mic (MCM) System is a pro-grade instrument microphone configured for close miking a trumpet, trombone, saxophone, French horn, or percussion instruments. Elevating electret technology to Neumann standards, it delivers a staggering 153 dB maximum SPL to capture the details of both loud and very soft instruments without adding distortion or self-noise. The mic securely clips onto your instrument and works for wired and wireless applications with connectivity that supports traditional XLR mic preamps for recording in the studio and wireless transmitters for performing live on stage.

The MCM 114 SET BRASS/SAX/UNI system includes a KK 14 cardioid capsule head, flexible 6" gooseneck, and MC 6 clip for mounting the gooseneck on the instrument. There is also an AC 31 cable with 3.5mm locking connectors for connecting 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 is designed to ensure a long service life that lasts for years. Manually assembled in Germany to align with Neumann s high standards, the MCM delivers first-rate tonal consistency plus that Neumann aesthetics and handling.

KK 14 Capsule with Exceptional SPL Handling & Ultrawide Dynamic Range

The MCM system is based around the KK 14 miniature capsule head, a 12mm diameter (small-diaphragm) electret-condenser element that delivers a truly natural, neutral, and reliable sound even in challenging technical or acoustic situations.

The capsule features a cardioid polar pattern that helps minimize the pickup of bleed from other instruments or stage noise, while allowing greater gain before feedback. Capable of handling an extremely high 152 dB maximum SPL with an ultrawide 130 dB dynamic range, the KK 14 is ideal for close-miking virtually any instrument from bombastic drums to delicate strings.

Reliably and Securely Position the Mic on Trumpet, Trombone, Saxophone

The 6" MCM s gooseneck securely hold the detachable KK 14 capsule using a connector that allows for rotation without twisting the cable. Its flexible design enables quick and accurate positioning of the mic for optimal sound capture. The built-in elastic suspension bracket is made of sophisticated plastic for excellent absorption of structure-born noise.

The MCM 114 SET BRASS/SAX/UNI comes with an MC 6 universal clamp to mount the gooseneck on the bell of a trumpet, trombone, saxophone, French horn, or on a percussion instruments. With a self-adjusting spring mechanism, the clip is easy to use and designed to prevent damage to sensitive surfaces on the instrument.

Flexible Connectivity for Wired and Wireless Applications

Because it uses electret-condenser technology, the MCM can run on either +48V phantom power from a traditional mic preamp or plug-in power from a compatible wireless transmitter.

With its locking 3.5mm termination, the 6 AC 31 cable can be used to connect the KK 14 to the MCM 100 output stage module for plugging the mic into a mixing board via XLR. The AC 31 cable can also be used to connect the capsule to a wireless transmitter with Sennheiser-compatible mic-input jack.

Neumann offers three more cables to work with other popular wireless transmitters including Lectrosonics, Shure, Zaxcom, Wisycom, and others.

• AC 32 cable with LEMO 3-pin connector
• AC 33 cable with Microdot connector
• AC 34 cable with 4-pin mini-XLR connector

Rugged Modular System Built for Long Service Life

The MCM is a rugged modular system. Neumann assembles the KK 14 capsule by hand and encapsulates it in a lightweight titanium housing. The gooseneck and all the other components are easily replaceable, ensuring long service life for live and stage performances.
