Schoeps Colette CMC 6 Microphone Amplifier and MK 4V Cardioid Capsule Set (Matte Gray)

Schoeps CMC6-U 12-48 Volt Phantom Power Supply and Output Stage for Colette Modular Capsules

The Schoeps CMC6-U is a balanced output stage and +12 to +48V phantom power supply for the Schoeps Colette series modular capsules. The transformer-less output stage ensures low-noise and pristine audio reproduction throughout. The CMC6-U is terminated with a standard balanced 3-pin XLR connection for use with standard microphone inputs and preamplifiers.

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.
