APPLICATION
The MC 950 is a flexible true condenser microphone
with switchable -15 dB attenuation and low-cut filter.
If you appreciate a clear sound and high impulse
fidelity of small-diaphragm condenser
microphones, our MC 950 is the right choice.
Due to its largely linear frequency response with
gentle treble boost, the MC 950 microphone is
suitable for use with a variety of signal sources
such as piano, choir, orchestra or solo instruments
of any kind. Due to its supercardioid polar pattern,
the MC 950 can be used where sound from the rear
is to be reliably attenuated, as it provides the most
effective sound suppression at 140° and 220°.
The microphone also delivers excellent results for
speech and vocal recordings - we recommend the
optionally available WS 101 wind shield for speech
and vocal recordings from a short distance as well
as for outdoor recordings.
