Schoeps Colette Series Wide-Cardioid Stereo Microphone Set

Schoeps STEREO SET MK 21 Overview

This Schoeps Colette Series Wide-Cardioid Stereo Set is comprised of 2 CMC6 amplifiers, 2 stereo matched MK21 wide-cardioid capsules, a pair of SG 20 microphone mounts, windscreens, and a foam-lined wooden storage case.

The Colette Series are modular microphones that are very popular among field audio engineers. The analog microphone systems are based on the modular CMC6 preamplifier (CMD2* for digital systems) and interchangeable MK series capsules. The capsules provide wide, linear frequency response curves and superior audio quality.

This set includes the MK21 wide-cardioid capsules. The MK21 combines the best of cardioid and omnidirectional pickup patterns, resulting in a wider, more generous pickup than a traditional cardioid, with the extended low-frequency response of an omnidirectional. The MK21 also minimizes proximity effect.

Matched Stereo Pair

This stereo package features a pair of CMC6 preamplifiers and MK21 wide cardioid capsules. The pair are matched in frequency and sensitivity response to ensure accurate stereo capturing in any application.

Modular Design

The CMC6 is designed to be used with any of the Schoeps Colette series modular capsules. The capsules provide various polar patterns and frequency response curves.

Wide Frequency Response

The CMC6 modular power supply features transformerless Class-A electronics that result in a linear 50 Hz to 20 kHz frequency response.

Superior Sound Characteristics

The superior quality of the capsule and preamplifier result in detailed, pristine audio quality with very low noise floor.

MK21 Wide-Cardioid Capsule Features

Wide-cardioid pattern is designed to offer a slight directional effect with omnidirectional warmth and openness.

The capsule offers consistent directionality throughout its frequency range with reduced proximity effect.

The Colette is often preferred for use as a spot microphone, or as the main pair for overall stereo pickup.
