Schoeps MK 2S matched pair

Schoeps MK 2S Matched Pair [131011mp]

The Schoeps MK 2S matched pair [131011mp] consists of two carefully selected MK 2S capsules from the Colette series, designed as true pressure transducers. This version features a moderate high-frequency lift to maintain clarity in environments where diffuse sound fields dominate, such as reverberant spaces or ambient recording setups.

These capsules are often used in stereo A/B configurations, Decca Tree setups, and when recording from medium distances. The matched pair guarantees minimal variation for accurate stereo imaging.

Main Features

• Matched pair of omnidirectional capsules (true pressure transducers).
• Moderate HF boost for clarity in open or reverberant acoustic fields.
• Precisely matched for minimal stereo deviation.
• Part of the modular Colette system by Schoeps.
