MCE 58 Beyerdynamic Interviewing Microphone

Interviewing Microphone MCE 58 MCE58

Model: MCE 58 MCE 58

Electret condenser microphone for ENG/EFP (omni)

The MCE 58 condenser microphone has been specially developed for interviewing and broadcasting.
Its 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.
