Schoeps CCM 41V Side-Addressed Supercardioid Compact Microphone

With a polar pattern that stays consistent across the whole audio range, the Schoeps CCM 41V is a side-addressed supercardioid for music and speech.

Sound up to 90° on either side of its axis is picked up with almost no change in response or tone color, which keeps moving sources natural and stereo images stable and precise. It works as a spot microphone or as a main microphone.

It is a preferred choice in the OCT (Optimized Cardioid Triangle) surround system, where sideways-facing supercardioids pick up the front left and right channels. In near-coincident pairs, its side address keeps the microphone bodies out of each other’s way.

The Lemo version comes with a 5 m K 5 LU cable to XLR-3M and an SGC miniature stand mount with swivel, and it runs on P48 or P12 phantom power. Schoeps also builds the CCM 41V with a fixed 5 m cable to XLR-3M for installations.
