Optimal for indoor and outdoor recording, the matte gray Schoeps Colette CMC 1 Microphone Amp, MK 41 Supercardioid Condenser Capsule, and Cinela Windshield is a space-saving Colette Series modular supercardioid condenser microphone bundle designed to provide consistent directionality and transparent, low-distortion sound pickup of dialog, foley, and instruments in film, television, and music production.
It includes the CMC 1 miniature microphone amplifier, the MK 41 condenser capsule, a Cinela windshield and suspension system, a stand clamp, and a premium case. Thanks to the inclusion of the ultracompact CMC 1, this bundle serves as a lighter and smaller alternative to the CMC 6 without compromising sonic performance. The Cinela windshield effectively reduces handling and wind noise while remaining lightweight and compact, making it well suited for use indoors or outside.
The matte gray Schoeps CMC 1 U is a miniature Colette Series microphone amplifier offering uncompromising high fidelity in a lightweight and ultracompact form factor for studio recording, broadcast, and live stage applications. Presented as an alternative to the renowned Schoeps CMC 6 amplifier, the CMC 1 U is compatible with all existing MK mic capsules and Colette active accessories (all available separately).
It features a balanced XLR output, compliance with 12 or 48V phantom power, and low current consumption. Its Schoeps RFI Shield provides high immunity from RF interference for a clean, low-noise signal. The CMC 1 U supports the high maximum SPLs tolerated by the various MK mic capsules (available separately).

The matte gray Schoeps MK 41 is a supercardioid condenser microphone capsule designed to deliver minimal coloration and accurate capture of speech and music for sound recordists and audio engineers in film, television, and video production and studio recording sessions. The supercardioid polar pattern offers enhanced attenuation of off-axis SPL and consistent directionality throughout its 40 Hz to 20 kHz frequency range, which naturally rolls off sub-bass frequencies.
The MK 41 is compatible with Schoeps Colette microphone amplifiers and requires no tools to install.
