Description

Overview

The MSTC's compact elegance and excellent spatial quality make it a classic in the sound engineer’s portfolio. This microphone consists of a T-shaped two-channel microphone amplifier onto which two paired MK 4 cardioid capsules are screwed. They are arranged at a distance of 170 mm at an angle of 110° to each other, as required for the ORTF method.

The MSTC is particularly impressive in that it usually also gives very good results without spot microphones. In addition, its placement is relatively unimportant, making set-up quick and easy. Only a single stand and cable are required and the capsule distance and the offset angle of the capsules to each other don’t need be adjusted.

The MSTC 74 outputs to an XLR5M connector for the stereophonic KS 5 U cable or the AK SU/2U breakout cable.

For outdoor use, a wind basket such as the Cinela Albert or a Cinela OSIX with single W 5 D or W 20 windshields is recommended.

Alternatively, the ORTF Outdoor Set can be used which employs single CCM microphones in an ORTF arrangement.
