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 152 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 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 dynamic range and low self noise, the KK 14 is ideal for close-miking virtually any instrument from bombastic drums to delicate strings.
The KK 14 is equipped with a built-in shockmount to help cut down on any vibrations you may experience while mounting to an instrument.
Reliably and Securely Position the Mic on Trumpet, Trombone, Saxophone
The MCM 114 SET BRASS/SAX/UNI comes with an MC 6 clip to reliably mount the MCM's gooseneck on a trumpet, trombone, saxophone, french horn, or percussion instrument. The clip is easy to use and designed to prevent damage to sensitive surfaces on the instrument.
Flexible Connectivity for Wired and Wireless Applications
The 6' AC 31 cable terminates with locking 3.5mm connectors to connect the KK 14 capsule 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
