Beyerdynamic MC 740 Set

Beyerdynamic MC 740

Due to 5 switchable polar patterns the MC 740 is a universal studio microphone. It has been designed without compromise to be able to capture every sound detail with absolute clarity and purity. Applications for the MC 740 include recording orchestras as a main microphone resulting in a superb transparent sound. Due to a switchable 2 position roll-off filter and a switchable pre-attenuation the MC 740 is also suitable for close miking of instruments.

Using the MC 740 N(C/5) in conjunction with the MSG 740 power supply unit the polar pattern can be controlled remotely. The MSG 740 can power up to two microphones.
