A new exceptionally small microphone with interchangeable capsules, which features a full-fledged Class A amplifier from high-quality selected discrete elements using film capacitors.
Very low self noise (5 dBA) coupled with high SPL handling (140dB).
Its 20mm capsule has a flat frequency response and a dynamic range of 135 dB. The MC 59’s excellent impulse response captures the subject’s finest details without colouration and its gold-sputtered, ultra-thin transducers pass and artificial ageing process to ensure life-long stability.
Ideal for sound-reinforcement solutions and recording in opera houses, concert halls and theatres.
Version “S” – super-small & super-light, with a deducted connector – 3-pin XLRM-type on cable. Note – the length of the output cable can be exactly customized to the client’s needs (up to 200 meters!). Version “S” – Break-out cable default length: 0.5 m. It can be extended upon request (up to 10m, for free!)
Currently Three different interchangeable capsules are available: cardioid, wide-cardioid & omnidirectional
The microphone comes in a comfortable carrier case, either for single mics, or for matched pairs. Matched Pairs is twice the price of a single microphone.(no additional costs)
There is also a E pre-amp availble with a switchable attenuator -10 dB and a low-cut filter (100 Hz, 6 dB/oct) for extra cost. Please contact us for more info.
