Beyerdynamic MC 950 True Condenser Microphone - Supercardioid

Small-diaphragm Condenser Mic with Supercardioid Polar Pattern, 40Hz-20kHz Frequency Response, Low-cut Filter, and -15dB Pad

Beyerdynamic Gets It Right at the Source

When Sweetwater studio engineers need the best possible sound isolation with minimal bleed, they often turn to mics with supercardioid polar patterns. Lately, their supercardioid mic of choice has been this MC 950 true condenser microphone from Beyerdynamic. Its 40Hz to 20kHz frequency response honestly re-creates all but the lowest of sound sources, and a switchable -6dB-per-octave low-cut filter at 250Hz deftly attenuates any bass frequency buildups. There’s also a switchable -15dB pad that allows the MC 950 to capture snare drums and other raucous instruments with ease, making the MC 950 an attractive option when you need multiple orchestral spot mics. Lastly, the MC 950 is usable with 11-volt to 52-volt phantom power and retains a high-power output despite its diminutive size.

Creative touches to give you even more options

The Beyerdynamic MC 950 has a couple of clever additions that make it an instant workhorse mic for studio and stage: a -6dB-per-octave low-cut filter (@250Hz), and a -15dB pad. Both features are switchable and extend the MC 950’s applicability by enabling you to minimize boundary effect and record more low-frequency-heavy instruments. Not many small-diaphragm condenser mics boast these functions, and they’re practically unheard of in the MC 950’s price range.
