Beyerdynamic MCE 58 Production and Broadcast Condenser Microphone

MCE 58 Production and Broadcast Condenser Microphone description:

The Beyerdynamic MCE 58 is an electret condenser microphone specially developed for interviewing and broadcasting.

The Beyerdynamic MCE 58 's unbalanced output supplies a very high level which allows direct connection to mobile DAT and MD-recorders. The elasticated suspension of the transducer element eliminates unwanted handling noise and built-in active filters suppress unwanted low frequency noise such as traffic rumble. The MCE 58 has a frequency response curve which has been optimised for excellent intelligibility of speech. The non-glare surface is scratch-resistant and will withstand the rough use often associated with news gathering events.
