Schoeps Colette CMC 1 Microphone Amp and MK 4 Cardioid Condenser Capsule (Matte Gray)

The matte gray Schoeps Colette CMC 1 Microphone Amp and MK 4 Cardioid Condenser Capsule is a space-saving Colette Series modular cardioid condenser microphone bundle designed to provide frequency-independent directionality and transparent, low-distortion sound pickup of dialog, foley, and instruments in film, television, and music production.

It includes the CMC 1 miniature microphone amplifier, the MK 4 condenser capsule, a foam windscreen, a stand clamp, and a premium case. Thanks to the inclusion of the ultracompact CMC 1, this bundle serves as a lighter and smaller alternative to the CMC 6 without compromising sonic performance.

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).

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 Solid Foam Teardrop Popscreen for Schoeps Colette Series Microphones (Gray)

This gray Solid Foam Teardrop Popscreen from Schoeps is an acoustic foam close-speech popscreen intended for use with Schoeps Colette Series microphones, but compatible with other microphone capsules as well. It provides sufficient protection at normal speaking distances for cardioids and other directional capsules, especially when speech capsules are used. With omnidirectional capsules, it may even be used outdoors in light wind. This popscreen has minimal effect on sound quality.

For moderate distances from the person speaking

Can also be used as a windscreen for pressure transducers

Negligible effect on sound quality
