Neumann MCM 114 Stereo Set Piano
The Neumann MCM 114 Stereo Set Piano is a high-end miniature clip microphone system specifically designed for piano recording and amplification As part of Neumann’s acclaimed MCM (Miniature Clip Microphone) system, this stereo configuration delivers stunning detail, transparency, and dynamic range — bringing true Neumann studio sound to both live and studio environments
At the core of the system are two KK 14 condenser capsules, Neumann’s newly developed electret capsules that combine outstanding linearity, ultra-low self-noise, and exceptional SPL handling The result is a natural, open, and phase-coherent stereo image that captures the full tonal depth of the piano — from delicate high-end transients to the powerful resonance of the lower register Each microphone is mounted using the included MC 6 clips for secure, non-intrusive positioning on the piano frame or soundboard, ensuring stable performance and minimal vibration transfer Both microphones connect to individual MCM 100 analog output stages with balanced XLR outputs for professional-grade integration
With German precision engineering and premium materials, the MCM 114 Stereo Set Piano is built for demanding professional use, offering versatility, durability, and the legendary Neumann sound in a compact, flexible stereo setup — ideal for concert halls, recording studios, and broadcast applications
