The matte gray Schoeps Colette CMC 1 L Miniature Colette Microphone Amp and MK 4 Cardioid Condenser Capsule is an ultracompact, space-saving Colette Series modular cardioid condenser microphone bundle designed to provide frequency-independent directionality and transparent, low-distortion sound pickup of dialog, foley, and instruments in film, television, and music production.
It includes the CMC 1 L (mini LEMO output) miniature microphone amplifier, the MK 4 cardioid condenser capsule, a stand clamp, a mini LEMO to XLR 3-pin cable, and a premium case. Thanks to the inclusion of the ultracompact CMC 1 L, this bundle serves as a lighter and smaller alternative to the CMC 6 and CMC 1 without compromising sonic performance.
It features a balanced mini LEMO 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 L supports the high maximum SPLs tolerated by the various MK mic capsules (available separately). A stand adapter and a 16.4' mini LEMO to XLR 3-pin male adapter cable are supplied with the CMC 1 L.
- Complete, no-compromise alternative to the renowned CMC 6 amplifier
- Electrical characteristics of the CMC 1 L are equal to, or even better than, those of the CMC 6 (flat frequency response, very low distortion, and constant output impedance across the audio frequency range)
- Only 1" long (about a third the size of the CMC 6)
- Weighs just 1 ounce (about 53% lighter than the CMC 6)
- Fully compatible with all existing MK capsules and Colette active accessories such as the CUT 60 and RC tubes
- Compatible with all accessories of the CCM series
- Very high immunity from RF interference with the Schoeps RFI Shield
- Optimized RF protection of the CMC 1 L makes it ideal for use with transmitters such as the Audio Limited A 10
- Balanced, direct-coupled, Class-A output circuit
- Output is filtered in the ultrasonic range to prevent interference, e.g. from camera autofocus
