Schoeps MK 22 matched pair

Schoeps MK 22 matched pair [131007mp]

The Schoeps MK 22 matched pair [131007mp] includes two carefully matched open cardioid capsules from the Colette series, supplied with a certificate of matched performance. The MK 22 is often chosen for its blend of spatial openness and moderate directionality—more focused than an omni but without the strong proximity effect of a classic cardioid.

Thanks to its balanced sensitivity and transparent response, the MK 22 is suitable for stereo recordings, ensembles, choirs, or acoustically complex spaces where both direct and reflected sound must remain natural.
