The Neumann MCM 114 Bass Set is a premium miniature clip-on microphone system engineered specifically for double bass and other acoustic instruments requiring precise, natural sound reproduction. Built around Neumann’s acclaimed KK 14 electret condenser capsule, the MCM 114 delivers exceptional sonic transparency, ultra-low distortion, and impressive dynamic range for demanding live and studio environments.

Designed for professional musicians, sound engineers, rental companies, and production facilities, the system combines reliable mounting, flexible positioning, and versatile connectivity in a rugged modular design. The included MC 3 clip securely mounts the microphone beneath the bridge strings of a double bass, while the 150 mm flexible gooseneck allows precise microphone positioning for optimal tonal capture.

The KK 14 cardioid capsule offers remarkable detail and clarity with minimal coloration, making it ideal for capturing the full tonal character of acoustic instruments. With an extraordinary maximum SPL handling of up to 152/153 dB and a dynamic range of 130 dB, the MCM system accurately reproduces everything from delicate nuances to powerful transient peaks without distortion.

The MCM 114 Bass Set supports both wired and wireless operation. Using the included AC 31 mini-jack cable, the microphone can connect directly to the supplied MCM 100 XLR preamp module for standard phantom-powered operation or directly to compatible wireless bodypack transmitters for stage mobility.

Hand-assembled in Germany to Neumann’s exacting standards, the modular construction ensures excellent durability and long-term serviceability, with replaceable components and optional clips available for a wide range of instruments.
