Schoeps CMC 1 L

Schoeps CMC 1 L [132012] – Microphone Amplifier with Lemo Output

The Schoeps CMC 1 L is the compact version of the well-known CMC 6, featuring a miniature Lemo output. It is fully compatible with all Colette series capsules and accessories, including the CUT 60 low-cut filter and RC extension tubes. Thanks to its small size and light weight, the CMC 1 L is perfect for use with digital transmitters or when space is limited.

With its optimized RFI shielding and low power consumption, the amplifier is ideal for use with systems such as the Sound Devices Astral TX. Despite its size, it offers the same audio performance as its larger siblings, with a frequency range of 20 Hz to 20 kHz and very low output impedance.

For other variants and capsule compatibility, refer to the Colette capsules and Colette amplifiers.
