Schoeps Stereo Set CMC 6 with MK 4 Capsules

Matched Stereo Set comprising thew CMC 6 pre-amp and MK 4 Cardioid capsules.

The MK 4 Cardioid is Schoeps' best-selling capsule. It offers the highest sound quality, flat frequency response, optimal rejection of rear-incident sound, and a directional pattern that remains constant throughout the audio frequency range. In the diffuse sound field it shows only a mild rise around 10kHz; the sonic impression thus remains free of colouration even when sound is arriving from all sides at once. The sonic impression is thus free of colouration whether sound is arriving at the front or at the sides of the microphone, as well as for diffuse sound (reverberation) in a room.

The CMC 6 amplifier is designed for standard 48- and 12-Volt phantom powering. Its circuitry recognizes the supply voltage and adjusts itself automatically. Its performance characteristics remain essentially the same either way; mainly, the difference is that the current drawn at 12 Volts is greater than at 48 Volts. However, the 12-Volt mode consumes less power and might be preferred for battery-powered recording.

Together the CMC 6 and MK 4 are truly fantastic and are our engineers prefered choice for classical ensemble broadcasts and choir recordings, especially in the Christopher Wren designed churches in London, such as St Clement Danes - Strand and the Grosvenor Chapel in Mayfair where the natural free colouration of sound pick up gives the best tonal quality to recordings made in venues such as these.
