Neumann - MCM 115 Set Guitar
The Neumann MCM 115 Set Guitar gives acoustic instruments a refined sonic presence, with faithful reproduction that respects their musical character. This miniature system for acoustic guitars embodies an elegant approach to sound reinforcement, where sonic precision meets meticulous design. Its purpose: to let each instrument express its own character, without stealing the limelight.
Presentation
The KK 15 capsule features a multi-layer design centred around eight key components, which are manufactured separately and then hand-assembled before undergoing rigorous quality control. This method ensures high sonic consistency between capsules, a significant advantage when multiple instruments are amplified simultaneously. With this Neumann miniature microphone for acoustic instruments, EQ adjustments are simplified and the sound balance requires fewer corrections to maintain a natural sound.
Whether it’s a classical guitar, folk guitar, Dobro, ukulele, acoustic bass or cello, the mounting system for this acoustic instrument microphone covers a wide variety of set-ups. The nine clips supplied allow the setup to be adapted to different instruments, with mechanisms designed to protect sensitive surfaces. A versatile solution for amplifying several families of stringed instruments.
On stage, dynamic ranges can vary considerably, from a delicate passage to a particularly energetic attack. The Neumann microphone for acoustic recording has an extremely low self-noise level and can handle a maximum sound pressure level of 154 dB. These performance characteristics allow you to capture both soft passages and powerful performances, whilst maintaining a detailed reproduction of musical nuances.
Positioning plays a crucial role in the quality of an acoustic guitar recording. The adjustable gooseneck makes it easy to precisely adjust the capsule to find a position suited to the instrument and the desired sound configuration. The mounting mechanisms allow for quick installation, often achievable with just one hand, without damaging delicate surfaces.
The titanium housing provides robust protection for the system’s sensitive components, a valuable feature for equipment used whilst travelling regularly. The design of this miniature microphone for string instruments therefore prioritises durability, with meticulous craftsmanship that meets the needs of musicians and technicians seeking a reliable solution for acoustic sound reinforcement.
