beyerdynamic Releases MCE 90 and MCE 91 Project Studio Microphones

MCE 90

January 28, 1999 -- beyerdynamic announces the release of two new large diaphragm condenser microphones designed for the project studio environment. Each utilizes a large diaphragm electret condenser transducer and are transformerless in design.

The flagship is the MCE 90. A side fire design intended for vocal recording and on-air/voice over recording in broadcast. The MCE 90 has a liner frequency response and a tight cardioid polar pattern. This completely new design has exceptionally low self-noise characteristics for an electret condenser, (greater than 72dB) and can handle exceptionally high sound pressure levels. The microphone comes with a switchable pre-attenuation pad and a low cut filter and will operate on phantom power of 12 to 48 volts dc.

The MCE 91 is a hand held version of the MCE 90 without the attenuation pad or the low cut filter. Its extremely tight polar pattern, extended liner frequency response, and high SPL capabilities make it ideal for the most demanding vocal situation either in the studio or on the stage.
