Schoeps MK2S Omni-directional Capsule with Moderate High Frequency Response for CMC Preamplifiers

The Schoeps MK2S is part of the Colette series of modular capsules designed for use with the CMC preamplifiers. The omni-directional polar pattern provides a generous pick up area at the main and off-axis sections of the microphone capsule. The slight rise in high frequency response proves useful in stereo microphone arrays. When used in stereo arrays consisting of two or three microphones, the slight rise in high frequency provides a tonal balance favored by engineers.

Omni-directional Pattern

The omni-directional polar pattern provides a wide uniform pick up response at the main and off-axis sections of the microphone capsule.

Slight High Frequency Emphasis

The MK2S features a slight rise in high frequency response. The high frequency rise results in tonal balance when using the MK2S for stereo capturing at distant proximities.

Wide Linear Frequency Response

The wide frequency response ensures accurate detail regardless of the source signal.

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
