Professional cameras, interviewing, multipurpose halls, lecterns,
theatre, drums, overhead, camcorder, DAT-, MD-recorders
Description
The microphone's condenser element and hypercardioid/

rejection and accurate reproduction of any sound source. Its
rugged design and built-in filter make it insensitive to wind
and vibrations.
Weighing 90 g, the MCE 86 II is one of the lightest shotgun
microphones available. MCE 86 S II (125 g) does not disturb

provide protection against the rigors of on-location production.
Powering
The MCE 86 II can be powered with any phantom power
source supplying 11 to 52 V. If no phantom power source is
available, the battery/phantom powered version MCE 86 S II

use of long cables.
The battery powered MCE 86 S II version has a switch and an LED
indicating the battery state. The life of a battery is around 80
hours.
