Schoeps MK 41 matched pair

Schoeps MK 41 Matched Pair [131017mp]

The Schoeps MK 41 matched pair [131017mp] consists of two precisely matched supercardioid capsules from the Colette series. Designed for high directionality, they are ideal for recording from a distance or in acoustically challenging environments with unwanted noise and reflections.

These capsules offer a tighter pickup pattern than standard cardioids, with superior side rejection (~125° off-axis). The resulting sound is natural yet focused, making this matched pair an excellent choice for stereo techniques like ORTF or dual-mic MS setups requiring precision and uniform response.
