Beyerdynamic MC 837

Featuring a Lobe/Cardioid polar pattern with a built in low frequency filter, the Beyerdynamic MC 837 is an outstanding microphone which is very effective for all types of remote location and in-studio voice reproduction where a shotgun mic is required.


Beyerdynamic MC 837 Features :

• Lobe/Cardioid polar pattern
• Very wide frequency response
• Low frequency roll-off switch
• Phantom power supply 11 - 52V

Beyerdynamic MC 837 Applications :

• Interviewing
• Exterior recordings
• Film recording
• Live recording

The rugged and lightweight MC 837 shotgun microphone has been designed to meet the demands of ENG and EFP applications. Due to its acoustical characteristics it is also suited for film applications. The directional polar pattern helps to suppress lateral and background noise.

The microphone operates according to the pressure gradient/line transducer technique. A switchable low frequency roll-off eliminates unwanted low frequencies at a cut-off frequency of 90 Hz. An integrated footfall sound insulation avoids the transmission of noise below 40 Hz. To avoid wind noise when used outdoors, a wind shield must be used. The microphone can be operated with a phantom power supply of 11 - 52V.
