The Beyerdynamic MC 950 is a high-quality, small-diaphragm true-condenser renowned for its ability to accurately capture a wide range of sound sources with remarkable clarity and detail. Featuring a supercardioid polar pattern, wide frequency response, high signal-to-noise ratio, switchable -15 dB attenuation and low-cut filter, and rugged metal housing, the MC 950 is suitable for recording acoustic guitar, piano, hi-hats, overheads, choirs, orchestras, vocals, solo instruments, and more.

 

Superior Supercardioid Pattern

The MC 950 features a near-frequency-independent supercardioid polar pattern, greatly prioritizing sound from the front while practically eliminating side and significantly minimizing rear interference.

This makes the mic highly resistant to crosstalk and ideal for capturing clear, focused recordings in both studio and live settings. Whether you're isolating a single instrument or managing complex soundscapes, this microphone provides exceptional control.

 

Lightning-Fast Response

At the heart of the MC 950 is a meticulously handcrafted, true-condenser capsule, featuring a gold-vaporized diaphragm for lightning-fast transient response.

This allows the microphone to capture the subtlest details and impulses with precision, ensuring natural and accurate sound reproduction.

 

Precision at Your Fingertips

With a switchable -15 dB attenuation pad, the MC 950 handles high sound pressure levels with ease, making it suitable for loud instruments.

Its integrated low-cut filter (6 dB/octave at 250 Hz) effectively reduces disruptive low-end frequencies caused by proximity effects or impact sounds, ensuring a clean, balanced recording.

Compatible with 11–52V phantom power, this microphone is as versatile as it is powerful.

 

Built to Endure

Encased in a durable metal housing, the MC 950 is designed to withstand the rigors of daily professional use.

Strategically placed vents enhance its acoustic properties, while the robust, acoustically neutral, sintered disc protects the capsule without compromising sound quality.

Even in the rare case of damage, Beyerdynamic's comprehensive service policy ensures that nearly every part can be replaced.

The MC 950's lightweight, compact design makes positioning effortless, whether in the studio or on stage.
