Schoeps STEREO SET MK 2H Overview

This Schoeps Colette Series Stereo Set is comprised of 2 CMC6 amplifiers, 2 stereo matched MK2H universal omnidirectional capsules, a pair of SG 20 microphone mounts, windscreens and a foam-lined wooden storage case.

The Colette Series are modular microphones that are very popular among field audio engineers. The analog microphone systems are based on the modular CMC6 preamplifier and interchangeable MK series capsules. The capsules provide wide, linear frequency response curves and superior audio quality.

This set includes the MK2H universal omnidirectional capsules. The MK2H capsules feature universal omnidirectional polar patterns. The universal omnidirectional polar pattern features a narrower sound inlet and slight elevation in frequency response above 6kHz. The MK2H is a popular choice for medium range recording, "stereo spread" and Decca Tree arrangement.

Matched Stereo Pair
This stereo package features a pair of CMC6 preamplifiers and MK2H universal omnidirectional capsules. The pair are matched in frequency and sensitivity response to ensure accurate stereo capturing in any application.
Modular Design
The CMC6 is designed to be used with any of the Schoeps Colette series modular capsules. The capsules provide various polar patterns and frequency response curves.
Wide Frequency Response
The CMC6 modular power supply features transformerless Class-A electronics that result in a linear 50Hz to 20KHz frequency response.
Superior Sound Characteristics
The superior quality of the capsule and preamplifier result in detailed, pristine audio quality with very low noise floor.
MK2H Universal Omnidirectional Capsule Features
Omnidirectional pattern
Mild high-frequency rise to compensate for losses at medium recording distance
Often chosen for "spaced microphone" stereo pickup and Decca Tree arrangements

Schoeps STEREO SET MK 2H Reviews

Orchestral recording standard

By Matthew
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2025-01-02

This stereo set is an industry standard for recording in large, open spaces. The high frequency bump is quite modest and in truth, is generally not enough to compensate for mic placement further from the source when considering diffuse environments. But then you can add the 40mm APE balls to bump the microphone high frequency response and you have a versatile mic set. Add another CMC6/ MK2H and you have a very capable DECCA TREE set. The mic sound can come across as ‘dry’ but dig a little deeper into listening and you will find it is seriously detailed and delivers excellence and NOT hype.
