Schoeps CCM 2 XS K

Schoeps CCM 2XS K

The Schoeps CCM 2XS K is a compact omnidirectional condenser microphone designed for placement in diffuse sound fields, such as at greater distances from the sound source in reverberant environments. It features a significant high-frequency emphasis to compensate for losses in such settings, resulting in a brighter ambient sound. The "K" version comes with a permanently attached 5-meter cable and an XLR-3M connector, ensuring reliable and durable connections.

Key Features

• Omnidirectional Polar Pattern: Captures sound uniformly from all directions, ideal for recording natural room acoustics and ensembles.
• High-Frequency Emphasis: Provides a noticeable boost in high frequencies, compensating for attenuation in diffuse sound fields and enhancing ambient brightness.
• Compact and Lightweight Design: Measuring 46 mm in length and weighing only 33 grams, it is suitable for situations where space is limited or a discreet setup is required.
• Permanent Cable with XLR Connector: Equipped with a fixed 5-meter cable and XLR-3M connector for stable and dependable connections.
