“The first thing you notice is the simplicity of fitting. It can be done easily with one hand and allows for great placement, and it always feels secure”, states Colin Pink. “The sound is very open and smooth – like a condenser from 30 cm. There is no harshness, and you get a great extended low frequency response. You still retain all the detail and presence, but with a more natural presentation. I was worried that this would increase the chances of ‘feedback’, but I had no experience of this. It truly is a remarkable microphone for strings.”

“Audio wise, many things have changed in our quest to set a high standard in Vegas, but the most impressive leap forward is the sound of the string section,”  

“We have 24 strings that are hidden for the first few songs that they feature in, but their reveal is one of the first big audience gasp moments. Luckily for us the new Neumann MCM acoustic instrument mics were in production just in time for our rehearsals. The improvement in audio quality over our previous mic selection could not have been more noticeable,”

"The warmth and detail these mics delivered produced a very accurate and natural sound with very little effort from me! The mounting system for them is excellent, as testified by the positive attitude of the players attaching them to their instruments. This is usually a tricky subject, but with the MCM clamps we keep hearing…  ‘oooh I like these’.”

"We had the chance to A/B the mics, and the difference was crystal clear: we dramatically gained on details and natural sound. Right after we noticed that, we decided to increase the amount of MCMs. We discovered a game changer: this is the way we approach our passion in music, this is the only way we think is possible to grow as professionals!”
