Thank you for
selecting the MCE 82 electret condenser
microphone.
Please take some time to read carefully through this product
information before setting up the equipment.
Applications
The MCE 82 is
a universal stereo microphone for X-Y-recor-
ding. It is suitable for stereo recording in ENG/EFP applications,
home recording, reporting, film, video and interviewing.
The MCE 82 has two condenser capsules with cardioid polar patterns
which are mounted at an angle of ± 45° of the microphone axis. This
allows a wide recording range and an accurate reproduction of the
sound source.
The MCE 82 has a flat linear frequency response for a natural
reproduction with the highest sound quality.
The compact and rugged metal housing makes the MCE 82 an ideal
microphone for mobile applications. The elasticated suspension of
the condenser capsules suppresses handling and cable noise.
