CMC 6 MICROPHONE AMPLIFIER

The CMC 6 is Schoeps's most popular amplifier. Its electrical properties have set new standards in terms of low distortion levels and common mode rejection (i.e. suppression of interference induced in the microphone cable).  

SG 20 STAND CLAMP FOR 20/21 MM

The Schoeps SG20 Microphone Stand Adapter is designed to stand mount microphones measuring 20mm or 21mm in diameter. The SG20 features a strong metal housing and a durable plastic clamp. Its base is threaded for 5/8"-27 stands, and a threaded adapter is included to accommodate 3/8" and 1/2" mounting. The angle is continuously variable.

B 5 D HOLLOW FOAM POPSCREEN FOR 20 MM

The B 5 D is the classic and most popular pop shield from Schoeps. It is used in close-up speech, but also as a shield against mild wind or moving noise on the boom. It delivers good effectiveness with the lowest possible sound influence.

MK 4V MICROPHONE CAPSULE

The MK 4V was created in answer to requests for a cardioid with its main axis along the side. In addition to its usefulness in the concert hall, this capsule type is of particular value in speech recording, since its slight emphasis around 10 kHz helps to improve intelligibility.

MK 2 MICROPHONE CAPSULE

The MK 2 is often used for acoustical measurement, an application for which it has gained a considerable reputation. The linear frequency response of the MK 2 with respect to frontally incident sound waves results in a very natural sound for near-field recordings (i.e. in close proximity to the sound source). This capsule can be set up very close to the sound source without sounding too brilliant or harsh.

MK 2H MICROPHONE CAPSULE

The MK 2H is ideal for a natural-sounding pickup of instruments and orchestras in spaces with well-balanced reverberance. The sound inlet of the MK 2H is narrower than that of our other pressure transducers, causing a slight, purely acoustic response elevation above 6 kHz. This reduces the high-frequency loss for diffuse sound, thus helping to preserve natural sound quality.

MK 2S MICROPHONE CAPSULE

The MK 2S exhibits a slight high-frequency emphasis for frontal sound incidence, with only a slight roll-off of high frequencies off-axis and in the reverberant sound field. The MK 2S has proven particularly useful in two- and three-microphone stereo arrays, where its placement near the reverberation radius of the sound field presents a sonically balanced pickup favoured by many recording engineers.

MK 21 MICROPHONE CAPSULE

The directivity of the wide cardioid lies between the omni and the cardioid. The idea behind their development is to combine the advantages of these two patterns. The low-frequency behaviour of the MK 21 is better than that of the cardioid, and proximity effect is less pronounced. The wide cardioid polar pattern is extremely consistent across the frequency range. Laterally-arriving direct sound and reflections are picked up without added colouration. The MK 21 is a very well-liked capsule. It is preferred when a slight directional effect and a warm, natural sound image are desired. Over the years it has become an integral part of the audio engineer's toolkit.

MK 22 MICROPHONE CAPSULE

The "Open Cardioid" pickup pattern was introduced by Schoeps in 2008. It lies between the classic cardioid and the wide cardioid, achieving both a fair amount of directivity and very natural sound quality. Many years experience of as professional recording engineers with the range of Schoeps cardioids has played a large role in the development process. Meanwhile, the MK 22 has become a preferred soloist and spot microphone, thus becoming an alternative to the "classic" MK 4.

MK 4 MICROPHONE CAPSULE

The MK 4 is often preferred by opera singers and other trained vocalists. But its natural, transparent character also suits it very well for use in pop and rock applications, on stage or in the studio, where equalization is a part of the plan. A microphone with a clear, neutral sound quality provides the ideal point of departure whenever special “colouring” is needed.

MK 41 MICROPHONE CAPSULE

The MK 41 effectively attenuates diffuse sound energy and produces a clear, "dry" sound pickup. Its polar pattern is exceptionally frequency-independent: sounds from the side and back are strongly attenuated but picked up without false colouration. This feature has made the MK 41 an international standard for indoor film sound.

MK 5 MICROPHONE CAPSULE

The MK 5 is nearly an all-purpose capsule. It is what we recommend for those starting out with the Colette series, unless particular circumstances (such as the need for greater directivity or a bidirectional pattern) would indicate a different choice. In addition, the MK 5 has excellent low-frequency response in the omnidirectional setting along with the low sensitivity toward wind, vocal “popping” noise and solid-borne sound typical of pressure transducers.
