Schoeps Stereo-Set CMC 1 U, MK 21

Schoeps Stereo-Set CMC 1 U, MK 21 [139203]

The Schoeps Stereo-Set CMC 1 U, MK 21 contains two compact Colette microphones with matched MK 21 wide cardioid capsules and CMC 1 U microphone amplifiers. It comes with a matching certificate, two stand clamps, two windscreens and a wooden storage case.

Applications

The wide cardioid capsules combine directional pickup with a substantial contribution from the room acoustics. They suit main-pair ensemble recording and arrangements with spacing between the microphones. Their directivity is insufficient to produce adequate channel differences for XY stereo.
