Neumann MC 4

An Accessory Dedicated to the Neumann Miniature Clip Mic MCM Ecosystem

The MC 4 is a clip designed to neatly integrate the capsule and gooseneck of the Neumann Miniature Clip Mic MCM system onto a double bass or a similarly sized instrument. The goal is simple: to achieve consistent sound capture in real-life situations (rehearsal, stage, recording), while maintaining a discreet, quick-to-install, and reliable setup over time.

Who Is It For and What Use on Double Bass?

This clip is intended for double bass players seeking a stable and repeatable capturing solution without makeshift fixes or aggressive clamping. It is especially suitable for contexts requiring quick mounting/dismounting (shared stages, set changes, arco/pizz alternation) and for those looking for consistent microphone placement to minimize timbre variations from one concert to another.

Reliable Attachment and Controlled Positioning

Self-Adjusting Spring and Rubber Protection

Thanks to its self-adjusting spring mechanism, the MC 4 is quick to install and maintains even pressure. The rubber coating improves grip and helps protect the instrument's finish, a crucial point for a double bass subjected to vibrations and frequent handling.

Gooseneck Orientation in 45 deg Increments

The gooseneck mount pivots and locks in increments of 45 deg. This system facilitates finding the "sweet spot": more attack near the bridge, rounder sound when moving away, or a compromise to maintain good definition in a dense mix. Once the angle is set, the locking mechanism prevents accidental movement during play.

Reducer Included for Particularly Narrow Instruments

The included reducer allows adapting the clip when the mounting area is thinner. This is useful to ensure a secure hold and maintain the same adjustment comfort, even if the instrument has a slimmer profile than average or if you want to attach the clip to a narrower area.
