The Neumann MCM 114 Set Cello is a complete miniature clip-on microphone system from Neumann's Miniature Clip Mic (MCM) range, configured for cello and similar low string instruments. At its heart is the KK 14 cardioid capsule, a hand-assembled electret design in a titanium housing with 23 dB-A self-noise and up to 153 dB SPL, so it captures both delicate and very loud playing with the natural, full-bodied Neumann sound. The capsule sits on a SH 150 gooseneck that swivels and locks in 45 degree steps and attaches to the instrument with the MC 2 cello clip, designed to hold securely without marking the finish. Signal runs over the 1.8 m AC 31 cable to the MCM 100 output stage, which converts it to a balanced 50 ohm XLR output powered by 48 V phantom power. The system is modular, so capsules, goosenecks, clips and cables can be swapped or replaced individually, and alternative cables connect it to wireless bodypacks. Aimed at live sound engineers, theatre and orchestral work and touring musicians. Catalogue 008718 includes the KK 14 capsule, SH 150 gooseneck, AC 31 cable, WS 110 windscreen, MCM 100 output stage, MC 2 cello clip, KC 1 cable brace, softcase and guides.
