beyerdynamic MC 950 True Condensor Microphone (SUPERCARDIOD)

The
new Beyerdynamic MC 950 shares the same DNA as the MC 930, versatility,
high-quality workmanship, exceptional technical features, and clever
construction. Its supercardioid polar pattern is what makes it special. Whether
in the studio or for live performances, you can rely on the MC 950.

Focused on a Variety Of Sound Sources

Thanks to its largely linear frequency response, the MC 950 true condenser
microphone is perfect for use with various sound sources, such as pianos,
choirs, orchestras, or solo instruments of all kinds. This microphone delivers
excellent results when used to record spoken and sung vocals when used with the
WS 101 windshield. The MC 950 really comes into its own when sound needs to be
effectively blocked from the sides. Equipped with an almost
frequency-independent supercardioid polar pattern, this microphone is excellent
at suppressing sound at 140 degree and 220 degree.

As Easy As Flipping A Switch

Thanks to its switchable attenuation minus 15 dB, the MC 950 can also be used
with loud instruments. Disruptive bass frequencies and low-mid frequencies that
are caused, for example, by impact sounds or proximity effects, can be minimized
by the switchable low-cut filter of 6 dB per octave at 250 Hz. This microphone
works with 11 to 52 V phantom power.

Fastest

Thanks to its lightweight, gold-vaporized diaphragm, the MC 950 exhibits
excellent vibration and impulse behavior. This makes signals sound natural and
precise throughout the session. The handmade true condenser capsule boasts
excellent transient response, enabling it to quickly reproduce even percussive
sounds.

Powerful For Use with Interfaces and Mixing Consoles

As with the MC 930, which has a cardioid polar pattern, the MC 950 has one of
the most powerful outputs in its class 35 mV/Pa.KEY_TAB This is a huge advantage because it requires
very little amplification.

A Closer Look

The MC 950 true condenser microphone boasts an almost frequency-independent
supercardioid polar pattern. This is different to a cardioid pattern, but not
significantly different to a hypercardioid pattern. Thanks to its supercardioid
pattern, this microphone prioritizes sound coming from the front, while all of
the signals from the sides, and some from the back, are reduced. This enables
excellent channel separation, which is what makes this microphone perfect for
studio use as well as on a loud live stage.

A Hard Shell Protecting a Clever Core

The MC 950s high-quality true condenser capsule is protected by a durable,
compact housing of solid metal. Its strategically placed holes mean it has a
significant effect on the sound. The microphone head is a robust yet acoustically
neutral sintered disc. Switchable pre-attenuation and switchable low-cut
filters are both integrated into the housing. Rounded off by its streamlined
weight, this microphone is quick and easy to position at any time. The MC 950
now comes safely stored in a sturdy hard case.

Individual Measurement Curve

Intricately handmade means every MC 950 is unique. Beyerdynamic even goes one
step further and individually measures each and every microphone. A printout of
the measurement curve is included with your purchased MC 950.
