Beyerdynamic MC 740 Studio Condenser Microphone

List: $2,499.00

Description: "Due to 5 switchable polar patterns the MC 740 is a universal studio microphone. It has been designed without compromise to be able to capture every sound detail with absolute clarity and purity. Applications for the MC 740 include recording orchestras (2 x MC 740 in XY- or ORTF-position) as a main microphone resulting in a superb transparent sound. Due to a switchable 2 position roll-off filter and a switchable preattenuation the MC 740 is also suitable for close miking of instruments."
