beyerdynamic MCD System – complete NOS set from the first production series (1998)
For sale is a complete, unused beyerdynamic MCD system from the initial production period. The MCD series was introduced in 1998 and manufactured only for a few years before being discontinued in the early 2000s. Fully preserved sets in new‑old‑stock condition have become extremely rare.
Included
• 2× MCD 101 digital condenser microphones (AES/EBU)
• 1× MPD 200 Digital Power Supply / Interface
• Original packaging, full accessory set, complete documentation
• Additionally:
◦ 1.5 m Adam Hall AES/EBU cable (Neutrik)
◦ 2 m Sommer Cable coax clock cable (Wordclock)
Technical Context
The MCD series was one of the few fully digital microphone concepts of its era. It combined classic condenser capsule design with direct AES/EBU signal output — a forward‑looking approach that only a handful of manufacturers pursued in the late 1990s. As a result, surviving units are scarce, especially as unused NOS sets.
