Schoeps CCM 2 L

Schoeps CCM 2 L

The Schoeps CCM 2 L is a compact omnidirectional condenser microphone with a flat frequency response for frontal sound incidence. This results in a very natural sound when recording within the reverberation time, where direct sound predominates. Unlike the "K" version, which features a permanently attached cable, the "L" version comes with a Lemo connector, offering flexibility with different cables and accessories.

Key Features

• Omnidirectional Polar Pattern: Captures sound evenly from all directions, ideal for recording natural room acoustics and ensembles.
• Flat Frequency Response: Provides a linear frequency response for frontal sound incidence, resulting in a very natural sound within the reverberation time.
• Compact and Lightweight Design: At just 46 mm in length and 33 grams in weight, it is ideal for situations where space is limited or discretion is required.
• Lemo Connector: Equipped with a Lemo connector, allowing use with detachable cables and various accessories such as extension tubes and goosenecks.

Applications

The CCM 2 L is particularly suited for capturing instruments and orchestras in spaces with balanced reverberation. It is a popular choice for AB stereo setups and the Decca Tree configuration. The choice between the CCM 2 and CCM 2 S is primarily a matter of personal preference; the CCM 2 offers a very natural sound, while the CCM 2 S features a slight high-frequency emphasis.

With its outstanding sound quality, compact design, and flexible connectivity, the Schoeps CCM 2 L is an excellent choice for demanding recording scenarios requiring precision and reliability.
