MCM 114 SET Clip-On Microphone Features:

   • The design minimizes any handling noise, making it suitable for dynamic live performances and ensuring the microphone doesn’t pick up unwanted sounds from the instrument movement.
6. Clip-On Mount:
   • The microphone comes with a clip that securely attaches to the instrument, making it ideal for performers who need a hands-free, discreet mic solution.
7. Durability:
   • Built to handle the rigors of live performances, the microphone is durable and capable of withstanding the physical demands of being mounted on instruments.
