Neumann MCM114 piano

The Neumann MCM 114 Piano is a premium miniature microphone system designed for close-miking grand pianos, upright pianos, and concert grands in both studio and live environments. Featuring two KK 14 cardioid capsules, flexible goosenecks, and magnetic MC 8 mounting holders, it delivers exceptional detail, high SPL handling, and reliable positioning for professional piano recording and reinforcement.

The Neumann MCM 114 Piano is a professional stereo miniature microphone system developed specifically for close-miking piano applications. Designed for studio recording, live performance, and broadcast environments, the set includes two microphones and dedicated magnetic MC 8 holders that securely attach to the metal frame of grand pianos, upright pianos, and concert grands, allowing precise and unobtrusive microphone placement.

At the core of the system are two innovative Neumann KK 14 cardioid capsules. Developed using a completely new manufacturing process, the KK 14 overcomes the traditional limitations of electret microphone technology and captures the finest sonic details with remarkable clarity and consistency. Each capsule is hand-assembled in Germany from individually optimized components and undergoes strict quality control to ensure identical performance, making the system ideal for stereo recording applications where accurate matching is essential.

The MCM 114 Piano system combines exceptional sonic performance with practical flexibility. The durable titanium capsule housings withstand demanding professional use, while the flexible SH 150 goosenecks allow precise microphone positioning. With an impressive maximum SPL of 152 dB and low self-noise of just 23 dB-A, the microphones accurately capture everything from delicate pianissimo passages to powerful fortissimo performances without distortion.

Compatible with Sennheiser wireless bodypack transmitters and supported by a comprehensive range of accessories and cable options, the MCM 114 Piano provides a versatile and reliable solution for professional piano recording and sound reinforcement applications.
