Frequently Asked Questions

While a small-diaphragm can work, the MCM 114's tailored capsule and output stage are optimized for cello's frequency range and tonal characteristics, offering a more refined and focused result.
It's a smaller, less robust connector than standard XLR, so careful handling is essential to prevent damage. Investing in a quality adapter is a good idea if you'll be frequently connecting/disconnecting.
While technically possible, the MCM 114 is specifically voiced for cello. A double bass’s lower frequencies would likely require adjustments or a different microphone altogether for optimal results.
