The Schoeps CCM 41 LG is a miniature supercardioid microphone with detachable cable. The design is a direct result of the demand for a compact capsule with the pick up of a shotgun microphone.
Off-axis sound is attenuated more effectively than that of a traditional cardioid polar pattern, and its frequency response is well suited for natural reproduction of vocals and instruments. The CCM 41 has slightly more roll-off at the low end due to the gradient effect, and is well suited as a "spot" microphone for orchestras, choirs, ambiance and more.
Supercardioid with highly consistent directionality throughout its frequency range
Ideally suited for music and speech
High directivity, comparable to that of a short "shotgun" microphone up through midrange frequencies
Often preferred for use in film sound recording and as a spot microphone in orchestras
