Schoeps Mono-Set CMC 6, MK 21

Schoeps Mono-Set CMC 6, MK 21 [138003]

The Schoeps Mono-Set CMC 6, MK 21 combines an MK 21 wide cardioid capsule with a CMC 6 U microphone amplifier. Together they form one complete modular Colette microphone with an analog XLR output. The set includes a stand clamp, wind protection and a wooden storage case.

Applications

The MK 21 offers a wider pickup angle and less proximity effect than a standard cardioid. This makes the set suitable for soloists, ensembles and spot microphone applications where room acoustics should remain part of the recording.

• CMC 6 U microphone amplifier with a balanced XLR-3M output.
• Automatic adaptation to P12 or P48 phantom power.
