Schoeps MK 4V Side-Addressed Cardioid Microphone Capsule
With an acoustically transparent housing, the Schoeps MK 4V keeps its side-addressed cardioid pattern steady at high frequencies.
Off-axis sound gets less high-frequency emphasis than with most small end-address cardioids, though the MK 4V’s overall response is a little brighter than the MK 4’s. A slight lift around 10 kHz helps intelligibility in speech recording. The MK 4V also suits spot miking in the orchestra and double M/S setups.
In rigid suspensions and in M/S rigs such as the Cyclone, a side-addressed capsule has to be aligned radially. The included O-ring (No. 800540) holds the MK 4V steady in any orientation. Schoeps recommends the PR 120 pop filter for speech. It fits the CMC 6, CMC 1 U, and CMC 1 L amplifiers.
