MC 950 — True Condenser Microphone
APPLICATION
The MC 950 is a flexible true condenser microphone with
switchable -15 dB attenuation and low-cut filter . If you
appreciate a clear sound and high impulse fidelity of
small-diaphragm condenser microphones, our MC 950
is the right choice .
Due to its largely linear frequency response with gentle
treble boost, the MC 950 microphone is suitable for use
with a variety of signal sources such as piano, choir,
orchestra or solo instruments of any kind . Due to its

FREQUENCY RESPONSE & POLAR PATTERN
This polar pattern and frequency response curve correspond to a typical production sample for this microphone .
Frequency response curve ± 2 dB
supercardioid polar pattern, the MC 950 can be used
where sound from the rear is to be reliably attenuated,
as it provides the most effective sound suppression at
140° and 220° .
The microphone also delivers excellent results for
speech and vocal recordings - we recommend the
optionally available WS 101 wind shield for speech and
vocal recordings from a short distance as well as for
outdoor recordings .
