Applications

The ultimate for location or studio interviews reporters microphone.

MCE58

Features

• Condenser microphone
• Internal shock mount for very low handling noise
• Rugged construction with Nextel® non-glare finish
• Battery operation

Applications

A battery operated microphone for use with semi-professional ENG recording equipment such as DAT and MD machines that do not have provision for supplying phantom power or accepting balanced inputs.

Specifications

• Frequency response 40 - 20,000 Hz
• Omnidirectional
• Open circuit voltage 4 mV/Pa
• Nominal impedance 370 ohm (unbalanced)
• Load impedance 2 kohm
• Max. SPL at 1 kHz 132 dB
• Power supply 12- 48 V

MCE 86 S

Features

• High sensitivity
• Excellent off-axis rejection
• Rugged yet lightweight design
• Non-glare Nextel® finish
• Phantom power 8 - 48 V (MCE 86)
• Battery power 1.5 V (MCE 86 S, MCE 87 S)
• No electromagnetic interference (MCE 87 VS)
• Direct DC supply by camcorder or external battery (MCE 87 VS)

Applications

The MCE 86 and MCE 87 shotgun microphones can be used for video recordings, lecterns or theatre applications.

The microphones are extremely light and rugged and therefore ideal for mounting onto cameras or camcorders. The can be used for outdoor applications and in studios with fishpole booms or as handhelds.

The electrostatic transducer element and the hypercardioid/lobe polar pattern result in an excellent polar pattern with high sensitivity. Due to its construction and integrated active filter the microphone is insensitive towards wind and vibrations caused by zoom motors. Each sound source is reproduced absolute clearly.

Weighing only 92 g, the MCE 86 is one of the lightest shotgun microphones of all. The MCS 87 S with 130 g and the MCS 87 VS with 95 g do not affect the camera guide either. Due to the rugged construction and non-glare Nextel-finish the microphones are insensitive to mechanical strains. The MCE 86 can be powered from each balanced phantom powered input. If phantom power is not available the MCE 86 S version should be used. This microphone can be phantom powered or battery powered with an integrated 1.5 V battery.

The MCE 87 S microphone is useful when electromagnetic interferences occur. It can be connected to unbalanced XLR or mini jack inputs. It is powered by an 1.5 V battery. If the camera has an output for external devices (5-9 V, 2.5 mm jack), the MCE 87 VS can be used.
