Beyerdynamic MC 834 Studio Condenser Microphone

MC 834 Studio Condenser Microphone description:

The Beyerdynamic MC 834 is a studio condenser microphone designed for crucial capturing of vocals and instruments in professional and project studio environments. The cardioid polar pattern effectively minimizes off-axis noise and audio, creating higher gain-before-feedback response.

The MC 834 condenser microphone features a extremely linear frequency curve and a frequency response of 20 to 20,000 Hz. In addition, a 2-position low-cut filter switch eliminates noise at 80Hz and 160Hz. -10dB and -20dB Pad switches enable signal with excessive transients to be reproduced without distortion. The MC 834 is at home when used for vocals, guitar, piano, percussion, strings and much more.

Features:

• The cardioid polar pattern effectively minimizes off-axis noise and feedback
• 3-position low-cut filter eliminates noise at 80Hz and 160Hz
• -10dB and -20dB Pad switches provide added headroom when capturing peaking audio signal that typically results in noise and distortion
• The wide 20Hz to 20kHz frequency response results in accurate detail and quality throughout the entire range
• Includes EA 37 Elastic Suspension, MKV 11 Microphone Clamp with 3/8" Thread & Case
