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).

Schoeps MK4 Cardioid Capsule for CMC Preamplifiers
The Schoeps MK4 is part of the Colette series of modular capsules designed for use with the CMC preamplifiers. The cardioid polar pattern results in maximum rejection of rear incidental audio signal, eliminating off-axis noise and feedback. The cardioid pattern allows microphone placement to occur farther from the sound source than a pressure transducer of equivalent sensitivity. The MK4 is ideal for both speech and music capturing, resulting in rich detail without coloration. The MK4 is also a viable solution for X/Y or Mid-Side stereo recording.
Cardioid Polar Pattern
The cardioid pattern effectively rejects rear and off-axis audio signal resulting in greater signal to noise ratio and feedback rejection.
Excellent Directional Response
The cardioid characteristic allows the MK4 to be placed at further proximities from the signal source without degradation.
Wide Linear Frequency Response
The wide frequency response ensures accurate detail regardless of the source signal.
Schoeps RC1200 Active Tube and RG8 Swivel Joint for Colette Series Capsules
The Schoeps RC1200 is an active tube mount designed for the Colette series microphone capsules. The capsule angle, relative to the tube, may be positioned between 0 and 120 degrees. The included RG8 swivel joint mounts the tube to a vertical microphone stand and base (not included), enabling easy height and angle adjustment.
CMC capsules simply screw onto the top of the tube and active electronics provide a pristine signal path throughout the tube and out the XLR connector at the base. The entire mount provides length and flexible positioning for a variety of applications.
Schoeps STR350G Vertical Support Rod for Microphone Mounting (350mm) (13.77-inches)
The Schoeps STR350G Vertical Support Rod is a microphone mount extension rod that may be used with the BF 250 floor stand, or attached to additional support rods for added length and mounting flexibility. The rod features 3/8 -27 threads on each end and measures 13.77-inches (350mm) in length.
Schoeps BF250 Heavy Floor Stand
The Schoeps BF250 Heavy Floor Stand firmly holds an STR vertical support rod for microphones. The special chuck, SPV 12-3/8, creates a quick connect and disconnect system which lets you plug into the chuck and tighten it by hand.
Quick Connections
The special chuck lets you securely connect and disconnect your SPV 12-3/8ths rod with a twist of your hand.
Weighted Base
The heavy weighted floor stand holds your microphone firmly in place during your performance.
Black Textured Finish
The black textured finish is durable and helps your mic stand place the focus where it belongs, on the performance.
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.
