PRODUCT INFORMATION MC 840
Thank you for selecting the MC 840 condenser micro-
phone. Please take some time to read carefully through this
product information before setting up the equipment.
Safety Information
• Protect the microphone from moisture and sudden impacts.
You could either injure yourself or others or damage the
microphone.
• Do not blow into the microphone. In a condenser microphone
this could damage the transformer. It is preferable to carry
out a speech trial.
• When using wired microphones always ensure that the micro-
phone cable is laid so that it does not present a trip hazard.
Application
The MC 840 studio condenser microphone has been
designed without compromise to capture every sound detail
with absolute clarity and purity. Applications for the MC 840
include recording studio and broadcast as well as for instruments
such as piano, brass woodwind and string instruments. The
superb dynamic range of the MC 840 also make it perfect for
overheads on drums (both live and studio). With the choice of
5 switched polar patterns, a 2 position roll-off filter and a 2
position pre-attenuator this microphone can take on the most
demanding vocal or instrument applications.
Connection
The MC 840 is equipped with a 3-pin XLR-plug. It can be
connected to any microphone input with phantom power supply
(11 - 52 V). For connecting cables refer to “Optional Accessories”.
Installation
The MC 840 is delivered with the MKV 11 microphone
clamp and the EA 37 elastic suspension. For stands with a 5/8"-
thread, the thread insertion piece can be unscrewed.
For fastening with the
MKV 11 clamp the MC 840 is pressed
between the two elastic jaws of the clamp.
Setting up and use
The MC 840 offers 5 switchable polar patterns:
omnidirectional, wide cardioid, cardioid, hypercardioid and
figure-eight. The correct position for using the microphone is
for the sound source to be in-line with the microphone axis.
This is when the beyerdynamic )))) logo is facing to the front.
When the microphone is used for close vocal miking we
recommend using a pop shield such as the
PS 740 . Fix the
PS 740 to the microphone shaft with the clamp which will hold
the PS 740 in position. Adjust the screen to approximately 50 mm
from the microphone head which is the optimum distance for
