Beyer Studio Microphones

MCE90

Features

• Cardioid polar pattern
• Extremely low self-noise
• Suitable for very high SPLs (up to 154 dB)
• Switchable pre-attenuation and LO-CUT filter
• Phantom powering 12-48 volts

Applications

The MCE 90 is a microphone designed for applications in the studio and home recording. The very natural sound is accurately reproduced due to the MCE 90's linear frequency response. The MCE 90 is suitable for very high SPLs; without pre- attenuation up to 139 dB and with pre-attenuation up to 154 dB. If necessary, low frequency noise can be attenuated with the switchable LO-CUT filter. The MCE 90 can be powered from all microphone inputs supplying a phantom power between 12 and 48 volts.

MCE91

Features

• Condenser microphone, cardioid polar pattern
• Low self-noise
• Elastic capsule suspension

Applications

The near-linear response pattern, high output and exceptionally low self-noise make this condenser microphone suitable for handheld vocals, such as jazz performers or acappella style vocalists.

It includes a complex elastic capsule suspension system to reduce handling noise.

Specifications

• Condenser (back electret)
• Cardioid
• Frequency response 30 - 20,000 Hz
• Max. SPL at 1 kHz 139 dB

M99

Features

• Hypercardioid polar pattern
• Switchable presence accentuation and equalisation for bass drum
• Extremely linear frequency response
• Rugged construction
• Integrated elastic suspension

Applications

The M 99 is a dynamic moving coil microphone of studio quality. The tailored frequency response suits many applications from instrument miking to on-air broadcasting. The beyerdynamic TG-X technology used in the M 99 features a strong neodymium magnet system and a mass reduced special Mylar diaphragm to give the microphone a powerful reproduction with excellent transient characteristics. The frequency response is extremely linear and guarantees audio quality which has until now, only been achieved by using high-quality condenser microphones.

The frequency select switch at the base of the microphone allows three settings of equalisation, linear and two optimised settings for vocals and instrument miking. A second switch is for presence accentuation. This allows further adjustment for close miking techniques or kick drum miking. The hypercardioid polar pattern helps eliminate feedback in live applications and allows a good separation between different instruments.

The microphone can operate at very high sound pressure levels without loss of sound quality and virtually no distortion. The M 99's die cast casing is made of aircraft grade aluminium and finished with an attractive metallic varnish.
