Neumann MC 1

An Accessory Designed for the Neumann MCM Ecosystem

The Neumann MC 1 fits within the logic of the Miniature Clip Mic MCM system: a discreet, stable, and consistent sound capture solution from one instrument to another. Rather than improvising a generic mount, this clip was designed to properly accommodate the capsule and gooseneck of the MCM, while respecting the constraints of an acoustic string instrument (vibrations, musician mobility, sensitivity of finishes).

For Stage, Studio, and Moving Musicians

Ideal for instrumentalists seeking close sound capture, the MC 1 is suitable for both concert settings (where stability and repeatability of placement are essential) and studio recordings when a consistent positioning between sessions is desired. Violinists, violists, and mandolin players will appreciate a mount that follows the instrument without hindering play, with adjustable orientation to refine the sound according to bowing, attack, and projection.

Secure Mounting and Controlled Placement

Self-Adjusting Spring and Instrument Protection

The self-adjusting spring mechanism allows for quick installation: the clip adapts to the mounting area within its designed range, while maintaining consistent pressure. The rubber coating serves a dual purpose: it enhances grip to limit micro-movements and helps protect the instrument's surface during handling and stage changes.

Indexed Rotation for Reproducible Adjustment

The gooseneck holder is rotatable and locks in increments of 45deg. This indexed rotation facilitates precise capsule positioning: you can direct the pickup toward a brighter or rounder area depending on the desired result, while easily returning to a setting from one concert to another. This is a significant advantage for musicians who alternate between several similar instruments or need to set up their microphone quickly in demanding stage environments.
