Schoep CMC 1 K Overview

The Schoeps CMC 1 K is a variant of the CMC 1 miniature Colette Series microphone amplifier equipped with a permanently attached 16.5' cable and an XLR 3-pin output connector. It is compatible with all existing MK mic capsules and Colette active accessories (all available separately).

Presented as an alternative to the renowned Schoeps CMC 6 amplifier, the CMC 1 K offers uncompromising high fidelity in a lightweight and ultracompact form factor for studio recording, broadcast, and live stage applications. The CMC 1 K operates on 12 or 48V phantom power from the transmitter and features low current consumption. Its Schoeps RFI Shield provides high immunity from RF interference for a clean, low-noise signal. The CMC 1 K supports the high maximum SPLs tolerated by the various MK mic capsules. This microphone includes an SGC swiveling miniature stand mount.

Schoep CMC 1 K Reviews

Nice and Compact

I bought these to slim down my field rig. I was previously using CMC6's and KC5's. I like how compact these are with no loss of quality. Still using my MK4V caps with this. I do wish the XLR ends were a bit smaller and more compact, but I will deal with it.
