The following components are included in the set: Capsule KK 14, Gooseneck SH 150, Cable clip KC 1, Cable AC 31, Power amplifier MCM 100, Windscreen WS 110, Clamp MC 3. The delivery is made in a practical soft case.

The classic for close miking

The MCM system from Neumann has defined new milestones for eletret microphones. In typical Neumann style, it accurately reproduces the characteristic sound of acoustic instruments in live applications. At the same time, it sets new standards in terms of natural sound, manageability, secure mounting, and durability. Nine instrument-specific mounting brackets for a wide range of acoustic instruments are part of the system. The modular design of the entire system also allows individual components to be replaced without difficulty.

The casque system: perfection in eight parts

Tonal balance, a more natural bass and midrange, and transparent highs at a new level: the newly developed KK 14 with cardioid polar pattern leaves behind the previous limitations of the electret principle and fully reproduces the characteristic sound of acoustic instruments. Neumann has developed a unique, layer-based design for this purpose. In this process, all components are designed for optimal performance, manufactured individually, and then assembled by hand. Strict quality controls guarantee an unprecedented level of sonic consistency: each capsule sounds exactly the same and delivers a typically neutral Neumann sound. This saves time during setup and sound checks, since manufacturing tolerances no longer have to be compensated for by EQ. With an extremely low self-noise (23 dBA) and a maximum sound pressure level of 153 dB SPL, the KK 14 delivers perfect sound for both very quiet and very loud instruments. The titanium housing is extremely robust and designed for multi-year live use.

Compatibility

The Miniature Clip Mic MCM system includes interchangeable cables for 3.5 mm jack, Lemo, Mini-XLR 4 pin and MicroDot - adapters are not required. The microphone can also be used wired with the MCM 100 output stage and 3.5 mm jack plug.
