Beyerdynamic MCE85 BA Electret Condenser Shotgun Microphone

Beyerdynamic MCE85 BA Electret Condenser Shotgun Microphone Overview: CAMERA MICROPHONE For professional sound recording with camera Developed for professional indoor and outdoor audio recordings, the MCE 85 combines superior quality and excellent polar patterns in a rugged yet lightweight aluminium housing A high-quality electret condenser microphone capsule inside the shotgun microphone ensures exceptionally precise sound reproduction.

160 H BATTERY OPERATION With a battery life of 160 hours, the MCE 85 BA is prepared for lengthy recording sessions and long trips even without phantom power The ON-OFF switch saves energy and prevents the battery from draining if you are not using the microphone for a longer period of time.

SMART DESIGN The aluminium housing makes the MCE 85 an extremely durable yet lightweight microphone and the high-quality matt coating prevents reflections LOW CUT FILTER The low cut filter can be switched on and off and eliminates low frequencies and compensates for mechanical vibrations and proximity effect.

CONSTANTLY BRILLIANT RECORDING QUALITY The DC/DC converter ensures that the microphone signal remains constant even if the battery power starts to decrease, guaranteeing consistent, brilliant recording quality An LED indicates the battery status every time you switch the microphone on.

MAXIMUM ATTENUATION OF AMBIENT NOISE The supercardioid/lobe polar pattern ensures targeted and exceptionally precise recordings even in loud environments MADE IN GERMANY Each MCE 85 is handmade in Germany and impresses with an excellent sound reproduction.

The authentic sound is the result of a long-term experience, gained over several decades, in the production of microphones Features: Lobe polar pattern Wide frequency response Selectable bass roll-off Matt, non-glare surface Battery and phantom power Specifications: Transducer type: Condenser (back electret) Operating principle: Pressure gradient Polar pattern: Supercardioid/lobe Frequency response: 34 - 19,000 Hz (switchable bass roll-off filter at 120 Hz) Open circuit voltage at 1 kHz (0 dB = 1 V/Pa): -30.0 dBV = 31.6 mV/Pa ±3 dB Nominal impedance: 20 Ω Load impedance: ≥100 Ω Rejection factor: >50 dB Max.
