Schoeps CMC 1 K, XLR

Schoeps CMC 1 K, XLR [132013]

The Schoeps CMC 1 K is a compact Colette microphone amplifier with a permanently attached cable. This version has a 5-meter cable terminated with an XLR3M connector. Combined with a separately available MK capsule, it forms a complete analog microphone.

The cable replaces the built-in XLR connector of the CMC 1 U, keeping the amplifier housing compact. This is useful for fixed installations and microphone setups where space is limited.
