Schoeps CMC1 MK22 Stereo Set

Schoeps CMC 1 MK 22 Stereo Set

The Schoeps CMC 1 MK 22 Stereo Set is a high-quality microphone solution consisting of two CMC 1 microphone amplifiers and two MK 22 'Omnidirectional' capsules. This combination provides natural and balanced sound reproduction, ideal for various recording applications where an omnidirectional pickup pattern is desired.

Main Features

• Pickup Pattern: The MK 22 capsule has an omnidirectional pattern, allowing for sound to be captured from all directions, making it ideal for ambient sound and acoustic ensembles.
• High-Frequency Boost: The sound inlet of the MK 22 is narrower than that of other pressure transducers, resulting in a slight, purely acoustic response elevation above 6 kHz. This compensates for high-frequency loss in diffuse sounds, preserving natural sound quality.
• Versatile Use: Suitable for A/B stereo recording and Decca Tree setups, making it an excellent choice for film recordings, concert captures, and other situations requiring high sound quality.
