Neumann MCM: Compact, Lightweight Clip-On Microphone Solution for Drums on Stage
Bulky microphone stands can easily get in the drummer’s way and take up valuable performance space. The Neumann MCM clip-on microphone system can be mounted directly onto tom and snare rims, securely maintaining the recording angle while optimizing professional stage space.

Compact Design and Flexible Positioning Capabilities

Compact Design and Flexible Positioning Capabilities

The Neumann Miniature Clip Mic (MCM) system was created to solve stage space constraints during live performances. Instead of setting up bulky mic stands around the drum kit, the Neumann MCM utilizes a smart mounting system (gooseneck and clip) that allows direct attachment to the rims of snare Drums or toms.

Its custom-designed electret capsule accurately reproduces the powerful low end of toms and the sharp attack of snares. Thanks to the secure clamping mechanism, the pickup angle remains rock-solid even during heavy hitting, ensuring a consistent output signal throughout the entire show.

High Durability and Stage Feedback Resistance

 

High Durability and Stage Feedback Resistance

Live stages always present feedback risks caused by sound spilling from stage monitors back into the Microphones. The Neumann MCM features an optimized cardioid/hypercardioid polar pattern that effectively isolates the sound from surrounding instruments while minimizing unwanted audio feedback.

The Microphone casing is built tough to withstand impacts and resist moisture. To get an authentic Neumann MCM system along with dedicated technical support, event units and venue managers often turn to professional distributors like Hoang Bao Khoa to ensure top-tier equipment quality.
