Frequently Asked Questions

The KK 14 prioritizes a smaller form factor and focused pickup pattern, sacrificing some of the ultimate low-end extension of larger Neumann mics while retaining their signature clarity.
The MCM 100 provides impedance matching and gain; plugging the capsule directly can result in a weak or noisy signal, so it’s crucial for optimal performance.
While technically possible, the MCM 114 is really designed for higher-frequency string instruments. You’ll likely find it lacks the low-end response needed for a full double bass sound.
