Beyerdynamic MC 950 True Condenser Microphone (Supercardioid)

Description

The MC 950 is a small-diaphragm true condenser microphone with a supercardioid polar pattern. Thanks to the excellent sound suppression at 140° and 220°, the MC 950 enables high channel separation. The handmade true-condenser system offers high impulse fidelity and excellent transient behaviour. In addition, the MC 950 features a high sensitivity and can be used with a variety of preamps. Like the MC 930, the MC 950 has integrated switchable damping and a low-cut.

The MC 950 is made by hand at the company location in Heilbronn, Germany.
