The \u003cstrong\u003eMCM 114 SET BASS\u003c\/strong\u003e fits this approach: a complete instrument set designed to speed up setup, secure microphone positioning, and ensure consistent sound from one gig to another. The philosophy is clear: to elevate electret microphones to the level of sound standards and mounting reliability expected in professional contexts, while maintaining minimal instrument footprint.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho It's For and What It's For: Double Bassists, Live Stages, and Mobile Recordings\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis set is aimed at \u003cstrong\u003edouble bassists\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003esound engineers\u003c\/strong\u003e seeking precise close-miking usable both front-of-house and in monitors, with discreet installation. Mounting behind the bridge captures an image that is both defined and musical, useful in \u003cstrong\u003ejazz\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eacoustic music\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eorchestras\u003c\/strong\u003e, and situations where feedback and bleed control are critical. In wired configuration via the MCM 100 output stage, the system integrates easily into a classic microphone chain powered by 48 V phantom, making it a solid choice for stages, recordings, and mobile studios.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat Makes the Difference: KK 14 Capsule, Intelligent Mounting, and Premium Output Chain\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKK 14: Tonal Balance and Microphone Consistency\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe heart of the set is the \u003cstrong\u003ecardioid KK 14 capsule\u003c\/strong\u003e. Designed to surpass the usual limits of electret technology, it aims for a natural tonal balance with more body in the lows and mids while maintaining transparency in the highs. Manufactured from multiple components assembled under strict quality control, it has a very practical goal on the field: \u003cstrong\u003emicrophones that sound the same\u003c\/strong\u003e. The result is less time lost on soundchecks and faster equalization, especially when multiple acoustic sources are miked simultaneously.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eA Microphone Comfortable with Nuances and High Sound Pressure Levels\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn a double bass, the difference between attack, sustain, and bowing variations can be significant. With \u003cstrong\u003elow self-noise\u003c\/strong\u003e and a \u003cstrong\u003every high maximum SPL\u003c\/strong\u003e, the MCM 114 SET BASS is designed to stay clean on delicate passages while handling high levels without distortion. This headroom is valuable live, where preserving the instrument's natural dynamics without excessive compression and limiting artifacts during transient peaks is essential.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eMounting: Gentle on the Instrument, Reassuring for the Engineer\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eNeumann paid special attention to \u003cstrong\u003emechanical reliability\u003c\/strong\u003e. The set includes the \u003cstrong\u003eMC 3 clip\u003c\/strong\u003e and the \u003cstrong\u003eSH 150 gooseneck\u003c\/strong\u003e, designed for fine and reproducible positioning while protecting surfaces. The gooseneck can rotate and locks in 45-degree increments, allowing quick return to an effective position from one gig to another. Practically, this enables adjusting the balance between attack, woodiness, and definition without moving the instrument or complicating playing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eMCM 100 Output Stage: Simple XLR Integration\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe set comes with the \u003cstrong\u003eMCM 100 output stage\u003c\/strong\u003e, enabling wired use and standard connection via a 3-pin female XLR with 48 V phantom power. The system is also designed to adapt to wireless configurations via interchangeable cables (depending on the range options), minimizing stage clutter. For a double bass, this flexibility is a real advantage: one can prioritize wired for simplicity and robustness or switch to a more mobile setup depending on stage needs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e@media(max-width:632px){table[data-wb-spec]{display:grid;grid-template-columns:minmax(0,1fr)
