You may have noticed that large handheld cameras often feature oblong microphones. These are used by journalists/reporters and all those who take video recording seriously! They are also a common sight at corporate parties and weddings, as these occasions warrant high-quality audio (to be used for future reminiscing or gossip). This Beyerdynamic MCE 85 BA shotgun condenser microphone is ideal for such purposes, and it has been made by a company with a reputation to uphold!
Properties of the Beyerdynamic MCE 85 BA
The MCE 85 series features two models. This BA version of the electret condenser microphone can be powered by one AA battery (as well as with a phantom power supply). A special DC/DC converter ensures that the performance will always hold up, even when the battery is nearing the end of its life. The lobe pickup pattern (super-cardioid) ensures highly directional recording. A frequency range of 34 Hz - 19 kHz make it ideal for the aforementioned occasions, and any possible lower frequencies can be shut out with the low-cut switch.
