5 - TC Helicon MP-70 dynamic microphones - Satin black, w/cases

This listing is for 5 (five) individual microphones, sold & shipped separately. The bulk/discount price for all 5 is $200 + s&h (TBD).

The TC Helicon MP-70 is a dynamic supercardioid vocal microphone specifically designed for live performance, offering high-gain-before-feedback and optimized for close-mic techniques. It features a proprietary Lismer capsule for superior tone, a hardened steel mesh grill for durability, and a dual-material diaphragm for improved high-frequency response.

Key Features and Performance

• Vocal-Focused Design: Specifically engineered for live singers using vocal processing, providing better off-axis noise rejection than typical dynamic microphones.

• Lismer Capsule: Features a patented neodymium magnet structure that delivers high output, consistent performance, and exceptional feedback suppression.

• Durable Construction: Includes a zinc die-cast body and a specialized, heat-treated hardened steel wire mesh grill that is significantly more durable than standard grills.

• Dual-Material Diaphragm: The capsule uses a patented dual-material diaphragm to provide optimal, clear high-frequency response while maintaining strong, warm low-end performance.

• Optimized for Close-Up: The microphone is designed for the close-up, "lips-touching" mic technique used by modern vocalists.

User Experience Highlights

• Warmth and Clarity: Users describe the sound as very rich or "warm" yet crystal clear and punchy, often noting it helps vocals cut through the mix.

• High Feedback Resistance: Many users report excellent, or "best-in-class," feedback suppression on small or loud stages.

• Sensitivity to Technique: Because it is designed to be used very close to the mouth, some users note it requires consistent mic technique to maintain a full sound.

• Comparison to Others: It is often noted to have a different character than typical mics like the EV ND767A, featuring a larger "sweet spot" for singers.

The MP-70 is generally praised as a high-value, durable microphone that pairs well with TC-Helicon effects units, though it does not feature the Mic Control button found on the MP-75.
