Schoeps CMC 1 L

• Alternative to the CCM (with better RF immunity and full Colette functionality) • Fully equal alternative to the CMC 6 and the CMC 1 U • Compatible with all Colette accessories, e.g. MK 4, CUT 60 or RC, *and* all accessories of the CCM series, e.g. MINIX, TR L oder STA

The CMC 1 is our new, small Colette microphone amplifier, about one-third the length and 53% lighter than the CMC 6. It is compatible with all components of the Colette system and can be used in place of the CMC 6 without compromise, for all applications in which the size and weight of the microphone play a role.

At SCHOEPS, “uncompromising miniaturization” means that the electrical characteristics of the CMC 1 are equal to, or even better than, those of the CMC 6. Through modern electronic design, these outstanding electrical properties have been achieved:

• high maximum SPL: 135 dB-SPL with the MK 4 (0.5% THD or less)
• very low current consumption: 2.0 mA at 48 Volts
• operates on 48 V or 12 V phantom power, reliable operation even if powering is somewhat marginal
• very high immunity from RF interference with the SCHOEPS RFI Shield ; high immunity to cable-induced hum and other interference (field tested with Audio Limited A 10, etc.)
• flat frequency response
• very low distortion
• constant output impedance across the audio frequency range
• balanced, direct-coupled, class-A output circuit
• output is filtered in the ultrasonic range to prevent interference, e.g. from camera autofocus
• high maximum SPL: 135 dB-SPL with the MK 4 (0.5% THD or less)
• very low current consumption: 2.0 mA at 48 Volts
• operates on 48 V or 12 V phantom power, reliable operation even if powering is somewhat marginal
• very high immunity from RF interference with the SCHOEPS RFI Shield ; high immunity to cable-induced hum and other interference (field tested with Audio Limited A 10, etc.)

A complete Colette-series microphone consists of an MK capsule and a CMC amplifer. All capsules and active accessories of the Colette system are compatible with the CMC 1.

The CMC 1 works with standard 12-Volt or 48-Volt phantom powering. Power consumption is lower at 12 Volts--an advantage for battery-powered operation
