MCE 530
Condenser Microphone
FEATURES
• Cardioid polar pattern
• High SPL capability
• Slim, unobtrusive design
• Plastic casing strenghtened with carbon fibres
• Phantom powering 11 - 52 V
APPLICATIONS
The MCE 530 is a cardioid condenser microphone suitable
for both project studios and semi-professionals.
This microphone has been developed for studio and home
recording applications. Its frequency response has been
optimised for miking instruments and choirs. Using the
WS 53 wind screen the MCE 530 is also an ideal speaker’s
microphone in churches and halls. Due to its light weight
it can be easily mounted onto goosenecks.
The cardioid polar pattern gives the MCE 530 high gain-
before feedback and eliminates noise from the rear.
Its plastic casing is strengthened with carbon fibres and is
extremely light and rugged. Its small and short design
permits flexible and unobtrusive positioning.
The microphone is powered by phantom power between
11 and 52 V.
Exceptional XY stereo recordings may be achieved using
two MCE 530 microphones with the adjustable MAV 802
mounting for two microphones.
