Schoeps Colette CMC 6 Microphone Amplifiers and MK 41V Side-Address Capsules Stereo Set (Matte Gray)

Designed and built for professional audio engineers, the matte gray Schoeps Colette CMC 6 Microphone Amplifiers and MK 41V Side-Address Capsules Stereo Set is a Colette-Series modular microphone bundle that includes two CMC 6 U (XLR output) miniature microphone amplifiers, a matched pair of MK 41V side-address supercardioid mic capsules, two SG 20 stand mounts with swivels, two B 5 D solid-foam popscreens, and a premium case for secure transport and storage.

Schoeps MK 41V Microphone Capsule (Matched Pair, Matte Gray)

The matte gray MK 41V Microphone Capsule from Schoeps comes as a matched pair, and is useful in all situations with music or speech, either as a spot microphone or as an overall directional microphone. However, this type of capsule is addressed from the side. It excels particularly in the constancy of its polar response throughout the audio spectrum. As a result, sound within 90° on either side of the main axis is picked up with virtually no alteration of frequency response or tone color. This is strongly evident with sound sources that are in motion, but is also of benefit in obtaining stable, precise stereo imaging for normal music recordings.

This capsule type is preferred as a support microphone as well as in the OCT (Optimized Cardioid Triangle) microphone system for surround sound recording. The front left and right channels in that system are picked up by sideways-facing supercardioid microphones. When mounted on CMC amplifiers, the MK 41V Capsule may be easier to use in near-coincident setups because the parallel microphone bodies will not get in each other's way.

Note:

It is delivered with a hand signed Certificate from the factory. Matching is of frequency response and sensitivity within exceptionally low tolerances.

Comes in a pack of 2

Supercardioid for vertical pickup (side-addressed)

For a wide range of recording applications

High directivity comparable to that of a short shotgun microphone up through midrange frequencies

With especially consistent directionality throughout its frequency range

Often preferred for use in music and speech recording, as a spot microphone and also as a main microphone, especially when using the OCT recording method

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 Hollow Foam Teardrop Popscreen (Gray)

This gray-flocked Hollow Foam Teardrop Popscreen from Schoeps is compatible with all Schoeps Axially addressed microphones. It is used as a shield against mild wind or moving noise on the boom and helps prevent pops when used in close-up speech. It is made of foam, and mounted on a plastic carrier that sits on your mic, allowing the foam to enclose an air volume around the microphone capsule like a windscreen basket, so that the foam does not touch the microphone, which reliably prevents any motion noise. The microphone should be pushed as far as possible into the foam for best results.
