Consisting of an MK4 capsule, a CMC 5 microphone amplifier, the appropriate terminal and a case, this bundle from SCHOEPS offers a high quality standard for vocal, speech, instrument, XY, ORTF and MS recordings. Starting with the MK4 - Schoeps best-selling capsule - it is a classic that scores with optimal backward damping and a high degree of detail. The basis here is the flat frequency response and a directivity that remains the same at all frequencies. Thus, even in the diffuse sound field, a similarly constant frequency response with a slight increase at 10kHz can be observed. To be more precise: No matter if you speak directly or from the side - the sound remains discolouration-free.
The CMC microphone amplifier is not a (power) amplifier in the usual sense. Its task is to adapt the signals of the high-impedance capacitor capsule for very low-impedance, balanced transmission through the microphone cable. Although the different versions of this capsule may differ, one thing remains the same: all operate with a transformer- and capacitor-free output stage in A operation, resulting in a low output impedance with high noise immunity, low distortion and low weight.
Practically this set contains the matching microphone clamp, as well as a case for storage. The SCHOEPS MK4/CMC/SG20/Etui Set is ideal for professional, high-quality recordings.
