Schoeps CMC 6XT U

Schoeps CMC 6XT U [132007] – Microphone amplifier for Colette capsules

The Schoeps CMC 6XT U [132007] is a HiRes XLR microphone amplifier with an extended frequency range up to 40 kHz, optimized for high sample rate recording. Its low noise floor above 20 kHz makes it suitable for time-stretching, pitch shifting, and slow-motion audio without introducing distortion or signal loss.

This amplifier is compatible with all axially oriented Colette capsules and delivers a balanced analog signal via XLR-3M. It supports both 12 V and 48 V phantom power and shares identical dimensions with the standard CMC 6. See other Colette amplifiers for additional options.
