APPLICATIONS

The MCE 85 can be mounted to film cameras, DSLR cameras or digital

camcorders for high-quality recordings in outdoor applications or in

theatres and studios with fishpole boom or as handhelds.

Due to the polar pattern signals from the side or back are eliminated.

A switchable bass roll-off filter eliminates unwanted low frequencies

at a cut-off frequency of 120 Hz (MCE 85 BA) or 160 Hz (MCE 85 PV).

An integrated footfall sound insulation avoids the transmission of

noise below 40 Hz. To avoid wind noise when used outdoors, a

windshield must be used.

The MCE 85 PV/BA can be powered by any phantom power source

supplying 11 to 52 V. If no phantom power is available, we recommend

using the MCE 85 BA version, which can also be powered by an

1.5 V battery.

The MCE 85 BA is fitted with a switch to activate the battery-

powered operation and a battery status LED. The typical life of a

battery is around 160 hours.

For different applications there are diverse optional accessories

available.

FEATURES

• On-off switch for battery operation (MCE 85 BA only)

• Battery status LED (MCE 85 BA only)

• DC/DC converter (MCE 85 BA only)

• Lobe polar pattern

• Wide frequency response

• Selectable bass roll-off
