The matte gray Schoeps Colette CMC 1 Microphone Amp and MK 2 Omni Condenser Capsule (Stereo Set) is a matched pair of ultracompact, space-saving Colette Series modular omnidirectional condenser microphones designed to provide linear frequency response at 0° along with transparent, low-distortion sound pickup, making the set an ideal choice for acoustical measurement and achieving a natural sound when close-miking instruments.
It includes two CMC 1 (XLR 3-pin output) miniature microphone amplifiers, two matched MK 2 omnidirectional condenser capsules, two stand clamps, two foam windscreens, a certificate of matching, a cable strap, 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.
- Complete, no-compromise alternative to the renowned CMC 6 amplifier
- Electrical characteristics of the CMC 1 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 1.4" long (about a third the size of the CMC 6)
- Weighs just 1.3 ounces
- 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 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
Please note that there is some directivity at high frequencies due to the physics of sound. Thus even with an omnidirectional microphone, it still matters which way the capsule is aimed. The MK 2 is often used for acoustical measurement, an application for which it has gained a considerable reputation.
- Linear frequency response at 0° (free-field equalized)
- For placement in close proximity to sound source
- Ideal for close-miking instruments
