PRODUCT INFORMATION MCE 86 II
Thank you for selecting the MCE 86 II condenser microphone. Please
take some time to read carefully through this product information
before setting up the equipment.
Applications
The MCE 86 II is extremely versatile and lightweight shotgun micro-
phones for camera or camcorder mounting. They can be used for
outdoor applications and in studios with fishpole booms or as hand-
helds.
MCE 86 II and MCE 86 S II:
Professional cameras, interviewing, multipurpose halls, lecterns,
theatre, drums, overhead, camcorder, DAT-, MD-recorders
Description
The microphone's condenser element and hypercardioid/ lobe polar
pattern provide high sensitivity, excellent off-axis 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
micro phones available. MCE 86 S II (125 g) does not disturb camera
handling either. The rugged design and non-glare finish 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 can be used.
Setting up
The balanced output of the MCE 86 II versions allow the 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.
Battery powered
MCE 86 S II
When using a battery keep the microphone switch in the "On" position
and not in the "B.C." (Battery Check) position. The microphone is
working, but the power consumption is increased and feedback can
occur.
To open the battery compartment turn the shaft of the microphone
(9 cm long) anti-clockwise. Insert the battery according to the polarity
marks.

Phantom powered
MCE 86 S II
When using phantom power, the B.C. switch position does not work.
Do not operate in the "B.C." (Battery Check) position.
Service
Servicing must be carried out by qualified service personnel only.
Dismantling the microphone yourself will invalidate the guarantee.
