Thank you for selecting the MPC 22/MPC 23
acoustical boundary condenser microphone. Please
take some time to read carefully through this product
information before setting up the equipment.
Applications
The MPC 22/MPC 23 have been designed for
flush mounting into tabletops, ceilings or walls. The
unobtrusive design makes them ideal for use in
round table discussions, tele/video conferencing or
wherever a low profile microphone is needed.
Connection
The MPC 22/MPC 23 is equipped with a 3-pin
XLR-plug. For operation it requires a phantom power
supply.
Installation
The supplied elastic bearing rings achieve
mechanical isolation from the mounting surface and
therefore offer effective sound isolation of the
microphone. The boundary microphone can be
mounted to a surface with a maximum thickness of
57 mm (2.25").
When mounting without the elastic bearing rings
the diameter of the mounting hole needs to be 20
mm (13/16"); when mounting with the elastic
bearing rings the diameter of the mounting hole
needs to be 24 mm (15/16"). Do not overtighten the
nut as this could reduce the effectiveness of the
elastic bearing rings.
When installing the MPC 22 make sure that its
flattened side with the beyerdynamic logo is
directed towards the sound source.
The MPC 23 can be placed as desired due to its half-
spherical polar pattern which picks up sound from
all directions.
