Beyerdynamic - MC950 - Condensor Microphone
Beyerdynamic - MC950 - Condensor Microphone
The Beyerdynamic MC950 Condenser Microphone is a compact, true condenser model designed for precision and versatility in both studio and live settings. Its supercardioid polar pattern delivers outstanding focus and side/rear rejection, making it ideal for situations where ambient noise control is critical. With a largely linear frequency response and a gentle treble boost, the MC950 captures sources with clarity, detail, and natural tonal balance. A switchable -15dB pre-attenuation pad and low-cut filter at 250Hz allow it to handle a wide range of applications, from delicate acoustic instruments to high-volume sources.
Handcrafted in Germany, the MC950 is engineered for professional performance and durability. It excels with pianos, choirs, orchestras, and solo instruments, while also delivering impressive speech and vocal recordings. The supercardioid design ensures effective suppression at 140° and 220°, providing reliable isolation in challenging acoustic environments. With low self-noise, high sensitivity, and robust brass construction, this microphone offers a refined balance of accuracy, control, and build quality for demanding audio work.
