Neumann - MCM 115 Set Brass / Sax / Uni
The Neumann MCM 115 Set is a miniature microphone for wind instruments, designed to accurately reproduce their sonic character. Its design prioritises a natural sound, a secure fit and build quality built to last. From brass to percussion, this system adapts to a variety of sound sources with understated elegance. A recording solution that allows the instrument to take centre stage.
Presentation
At the heart of the system, the KK 15 supercardioid capsule captures the nuances of the instrument with a careful balance between bass, midrange and treble. Its design, comprising eight components manufactured separately and then assembled by hand, contributes to tonal consistency. This approach simplifies EQ adjustments when multiple microphones are in use simultaneously, a significant advantage for complex stage set-ups.
With a maximum sound pressure level of 154 dB and extremely low self-noise, the Neumann MCM 115 Set is suitable for sources with widely varying sound levels. This dynamic range ensures faithful reproduction of both powerful passages and subtle nuances, with a wind instrument capsule designed to preserve the acoustic characteristics of each source.
The system comes with a versatile mounting clamp, designed for various acoustic instruments. Its mechanism minimises stress on sensitive surfaces and allows for quick installation, usually achievable with just one hand. The flexible gooseneck, meanwhile, allows for precise adjustment of the microphone’s position, so that the pickup pattern can be tailored to the specific characteristics of the instrument.
The titanium housing protects the sensitive components from the stresses associated with transport and regular use. This construction reflects a focus on durability, complementing the quality control applied to the capsules. The MCM 115 Set is therefore part of a range of high-end miniature microphones for live performance, prioritising consistent sound quality and robustness.
