Schoeps Colette CMC 1 L Microphone Amplifier and MK 41V Supercardioid Capsule Set (Matte Gray)

Schoeps CMC 1 L Miniature Colette Microphone Amplifier with Mini LEMO Output (Matte Gray)

The matte gray Schoeps CMC 1 L is a miniature Colette Series microphone amplifier offering uncompromising high fidelity in a lightweight and ultracompact form factor for studio recording, broadcast, and live stage applications. Presented as an alternative to the renowned Schoeps CMC 6 amplifier, the CMC 1 L is compatible with all existing MK mic capsules and Colette active accessories (all available separately).

It features a balanced mini LEMO output, compliance with 12V or 48V phantom power, and low current consumption. Its Schoeps RFI Shield provides high immunity from RF interference for a clean, low-noise signal. The CMC 1 L supports the high maximum SPLs tolerated by the various MK mic capsules (available separately). A stand adapter and a 16.4 mini LEMO to XLR 3-pin male adapter cable are supplied with the CMC 1 L.

Complete alternative to the renowned CMC 6 amplifier

Can be used in place of the CMC 6 with no compromise

Electrical characteristics of the CMC 1 L are equal to, or even better than, those of the CMC 6 (flat frequency response, very low distortion, and constant output impedance across the audio frequency range)

Only 1 long (about a third the size of the CMC 6)

Weighs just 1 ounce (about 53% lighter than the CMC 6)

Fully compatible with all existing MK capsules and Colette active accessories such as the CUT 60 and RC tubes

Compatible with all accessories of the CCM series

Very high immunity from RF interference with the Schoeps RFI Shield

Optimized RF protection of the CMC 1 L makes it ideal for use with transmitters such as the Audio Limited A 10

Balanced, direct-coupled, Class-A output circuit

Output is filtered in the ultrasonic range to prevent interference, e.g. from camera autofocus

Includes 16.4 miniature LEMO to XLR 3-pin male adapter cable

Includes mic clip for easy attachment to a mic stand

Suspension mounts such as the Rycote INV-5 are available separately

Schoeps MK 41V Microphone Capsule (Matte Gray)

The matte gray MK 41V Microphone Capsule from Schoeps is useful in all situations with music or speech, either as a spot microphone or as an overall directional microphone. However, this type of capsule is addressed from the side. It excels particularly in the constancy of its polar response throughout the audio spectrum. As a result, sound within 90° on either side of the main axis is picked up with virtually no alteration of frequency response or tone color. This is strongly evident with sound sources that are in motion, but is also of benefit in obtaining stable, precise stereo imaging for normal music recordings.

This capsule type is preferred as a support microphone as well as in the OCT (Optimized Cardioid Triangle) microphone system for surround sound recording. The front left and right channels in that system are picked up by sideways-facing supercardioid microphones. When mounted on CMC amplifiers, the MK 41V Capsule may be easier to use in near-coincident setups because the parallel microphone bodies will not get in each other s way.

Supercardioid for vertical pickup (side-addressed)

For a wide range of recording applications

High directivity comparable to that of a short shotgun microphone up through midrange frequencies

With especially consistent directionality throughout its frequency range

Often preferred for use in music and speech recording, as a spot microphone and also as a main microphone, especially when using the OCT recording method

Schoeps Solid Foam Teardrop Popscreen for Schoeps Colette Series Microphones (Gray)

This gray Solid Foam Teardrop Popscreen from Schoeps is an acoustic foam close-speech popscreen intended for use with Schoeps Colette Series microphones, but compatible with other microphone capsules as well. It provides sufficient protection at normal speaking distances for cardioids and other directional capsules, especially when speech capsules are used. With omnidirectional capsules, it may even be used outdoors in light wind. This popscreen has minimal effect on sound quality.

For moderate distances from the person speaking

Can also be used as a windscreen for pressure transducers

Negligible effect on sound quality
