Schoeps MK 2XS Omnidirectional Microphone Capsule

Diffuse-field equalized for distant placement, the Schoeps MK 2XS is an omnidirectional Colette capsule with a strong high-frequency lift on axis.

In reverberant rooms, where most of the arriving sound has already reflected off the walls, its response is flat and the on-axis lift goes unnoticed. Close to a source the lift becomes clearly audible and the sound turns overly bright, so for closer miking the MK 2S or MK 2H is the usual choice.

At greater distances, its full diffuse-field equalization balances focus, depth, and spaciousness. KA 40 spheres add presence at those distances. It is often used as a room microphone beyond the critical distance. It screws onto the CMC 6, CMC 1 U, or CMC 1 L amplifier.
