Beyerdynamic MCE 90

Beyerdynamic MCE 90

The MCE 90 is a microphone designed for applications in the studio and home recording. The very natural sound is accurately reproduced due to the MCE 90's linear frequency response. The MCE 90 is suitable for very high SPLs; without pre-attenuation up to 139 dB and with pre-attenuation up to 154 dB. If necessary, low frequency noise can be attenuated with the switchable Lo-Cut-filter.

The MCE 90 can be powered from all microphone inputs supplying a phantom power between 12 and 48 volts.
