Schoeps MK 41V

Schoeps MK 41V [131101]

The Schoeps MK 41V [131101] is a small-diaphragm condenser microphone capsule from the Colette series with a supercardioid pickup pattern and a side-address (vertical) acoustic axis. This variant is used when the capsule axis needs to be oriented sideways or at 90° relative to the microphone body for specific mounting and placement situations.

The MK 41V is intended for applications requiring strong directionality with predictable off-axis behaviour and reflections, avoiding the typical coloration often associated with interference tube designs.

Main Features

• Supercardioid pickup pattern: controlled on-axis pickup with strong rejection of side and rear sound.
