Schoeps Colette CMC 1 U Microphone Amplifier and MK 4V Cardioid Capsule Set (Matte Gray)

Schoeps CMC 1 U Miniature Colette Microphone Amplifier (Matte Gray)

The matte gray Schoeps CMC 1 U 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 U is compatible with all existing MK mic capsules and Colette active accessories (all available separately).

It features a balanced XLR output, compliance with 12 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 U supports the high maximum SPLs tolerated by the various MK mic capsules (available separately).

• Complete alternative to the renowned CMC 6 amplifier
• Can be used in place of the CMC 6 with no compromise
• XLR output connector
• Electrical characteristics of the CMC 1 U are equal to, or even better than, those of the CMC 6
• 1.4 long (about a third the size of the CMC 6)
• 1.3 ounces (about 40% lighter than the CMC 6)
• Fully compatible with all existing MK capsules and Colette active accessories such as the CUT 60 and RC tubes
• Very high immunity from RF interference with the Schoeps RFI Shield
• Includes mic clip for easy attachment to a mic stand
• Suspension mounts such as the Rycote INV-6 are available separately

Schoeps MK4V Radial Cardioid Capsule for CMC Preamplifiers

The Schoeps MK4V is part of the Colette series of modular capsules designed for use with the CMC6 preamplifier. The radial design is a direct result of the demand for a cardioid capsule where the maximum pick up occurs on the side as opposed to the front (top) of the capsule. The acoustically transparent housing is particularly effective in reducing high frequency signal energy at the off-axis sections of the capsule, a common problem among standard cardioid elements. The linear frequency response features a slight rise at 10KHz, which enhances presence and intelligibility. The cardioid lateral pick up and high frequency response characteristics render the MK4V more than viable for speech, general instrument capturing, mono and stereo ambiance capturing.

Radial Pick-up Design

Lateral cardioid pick up pattern is the result of a design that enables the maximum pick up response to occur on the side of the capsule.

Off-Axis High Frequency Rejection

The MK4V provides exceptional high frequency rejection at the off-axis sections of the capsule.

Wide Linear Frequency Response

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

High Frequency Rise

A slight rise in frequency response occurs at around 10KHz. The result is greater presence and intelligibility.

Schoeps B-5D Hollow Foam Windscreen for Light Wind Noise and as a close-speech guard (Gray)

Schoeps Microphones has created the B-5D Windscreen in grey is best when used on pressure-gradient transducers in light wind and as a close-speech guard. The foam encloses an air chamber around the microphone capsule, similar to a basket windscreen.

Although not designed for it, it works hand in hand with the MK 4V, MK 41V or MK 4VXS microphone capsules and the corresponding CCM Compact Condenser Microphones. But this microphone cannot be used with MK 6 or MK 8 capsules, or the corresponding CCM Compact Microphones.

Color and Texture

This windscreen is a neutral gray with an attractive porous, velvet-like surface treatment.
