Schoeps MK 5 matched pair





Schoeps MK 5 matched pair [131019mp]
A matched pair of Schoeps MK 5 capsules for the modular Colette system, supplied with a matching certificate. Each capsule mechanically switches between omnidirectional and cardioid.
Main Features
- Two matched capsules for stereo applications.
- A single diaphragm per capsule serves both pickup patterns.
- Omnidirectional mode operates as a pressure transducer, without proximity effect.
- Cardioid mode provides directional pickup with attenuation of sound from behind.
Using the Pattern Selector
Move the sliding selector fully into either the omni or cardioid position. Intermediate positions do not produce a defined pickup pattern.
