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.
Beyerdynamic MC 950 True Condenser Microphone
Supercardioid Polar Pattern
- Provides excellent side and rear rejection (best at 140° and 220°), making it ideal for isolating sound sources in noisy or crowded environments.
Balanced Sound & High Impulse Fidelity
- Features a largely linear frequency response with gentle treble boost, and a gold-vaporised diaphragm for accurate and precise reproduction of fast transient sounds.
Switchable Pre-attenuation
- A -15 dB pad allows the microphone to handle very loud sound pressure levels without distortion.
Switchable Low-Cut Filter
- A filter below 250 Hz helps to minimize disruptive bass frequencies from proximity effect and impact sounds.
High Sensitivity
- The powerful output requires less amplification from connected interfaces or mixers, a significant advantage for signal clarity.
Versatile Applications
- Suitable for a wide range of instruments (acoustic guitar, piano, hi-hats, overheads), choirs, orchestras, and vocals.
Handcrafted in Germany
- Built with high-quality components and solid metal construction for durability and professional performance.
Phantom Powered
- Operates on standard 11–52V phantom power.
Compact & Lightweight
- Easy to position for various recording situations
