It's Schoeps: what more can I say

By John
Rated 5 out of 5

Apart from being smaller and lighter than the full sized Collette line of microphone amps it seem, due somewhat to its' size and weight,to be more rugged a definite plus for field recording. All in all, if you thing is Indians pounding drums and bird tweets, I'd prefer this over the full sized amps and of course its' Schoeps so the quality remains the same.

Perfect

I use a pair of these for my MS setup(cmc1’s, mk8, mk22). When these were released in 2019 it was welcomed with open arms. I went from a 13” to 6.7” Rycote windshield. Amazing! Size and weight is a big deal for me as I hike to my locations and I carry the mentioned MS setup plus an ORTF(2 ccm4’s). They perform excellent as expected and they draw less battery power than the CMC6. I had no reason to not own a pair.

Hello! With this microphone amplifier, will I ...

Hello! With this microphone amplifier, will I still need phantom power to connect a condenser microphone to a camera like the Sony A7SIII, or a recorder like the Atomos Ninja V? If so, what do you recommend?
Asked by: Miguel
This amplifier is designed to work with the Shoeps MK series capsules, and will still require phantom power to run.
