Neumann - MCM 115 Set Bass

The Neumann MCM 115 Bass Set includes everything needed to mount the KK 14 miniature capsule on a double bass, comprising a flexible gooseneck, an MCM 100 preamplifier and an MC 3 clamp. This configuration makes it easy to integrate the equipment into the instrument.

The KK 14 capsule features a supercardioid polar pattern, suitable for focused pickup of the double bass. Its multi-layer design ensures a balanced reproduction of bass, midrange and treble frequencies, with a sound definition that preserves the instrument’s acoustic character and the nuances of the performance.

For amplified performances, the quality of the recording also depends on the equipment’s ability to handle high sound levels. The capsules in the MCM range can handle a maximum level of 154 dB SPL and have an extremely low self-noise level. These technical specifications ensure detailed reproduction, whether for delicate passages or energetic bow strokes and fingerpicking.

This Neumann double bass microphone features a titanium housing designed to protect its sensitive components whilst on the move. This design enhances resistance to the stresses associated with regular transport, a significant advantage for musicians who frequently move their equipment between different performance venues.

The SH 150 gooseneck allows precise adjustment of the capsule’s position thanks to its swivel mechanism. The MC 3 clamp helps to secure the microphone to the instrument, with a mounting system designed to protect sensitive surfaces. The KC 1 cable clamp and the AC 31 cable complete this setup, helping to organise the connections and minimise mechanical stress on the connections during use.
