Schoeps Mono-Set CMC 1 U, MK 2

Schoeps Mono-Set CMC 1 U, MK 2 [138201]

The Schoeps Mono-Set CMC 1 U, MK 2 combines an MK 2 omnidirectional capsule with the compact CMC 1 U microphone amplifier. The set includes one complete modular Colette microphone with an analog XLR output, stand clamp, foam pop screen and a wooden storage case.

Applications

The MK 2 is free-field equalized, providing a flat frequency response for frontally arriving sound. The set suits instrument recording at relatively short distances.

Although the capsule is omnidirectional, its orientation still matters at high frequencies, where sensitivity is not identical in every direction.

Features

• MK 2 omnidirectional pressure capsule with free-field equalization.
• Compact CMC 1 U microphone amplifier with a balanced XLR output.
• Modular Colette system with an interchangeable capsule.
• Operates on P12 or P48 phantom power.
