Beyerdynamic MCE 58 (Electret Condenser Omnidirectional Microphone)

Beyerdynamic MCE58 Electret Omnidirectional Condenser Microphone for ENG/EFP
Beyerdynamic MCE58 Electret Omnidirectional Condenser Microphone for ENG/EFP
The MCE 58 condenser microphone has a very high unbalanced output that allows direct connection to mobile DAT and MD-recorders. The elasticated suspension of the transducer element eliminates unwanted handling noise and built-in active filters suppress unwanted low-frequency noise such as traffic rumble. The MCE 58 has a frequency response curve which has been optimized for excellent speech intelligibility The non-glare surface is scratch-resistant and will withstand the rough use often associated with news gathering events.
Requires phantom power.
