Schoeps CCM 21 Wide Cardioid Compact Microphone
Sitting between an omni and a cardioid, the Schoeps CCM 21 is a wide cardioid with a fuller low end and less proximity effect.
It attenuates sound from the sides and rear less than a cardioid does, and its directivity changes only slightly with frequency, so on-axis and off-axis sound are both reproduced accurately. The result is a warm, natural sound, and its aim is less critical than a cardioid’s.
As a spot microphone it goes a little closer to the source than a cardioid, and its even off-axis response blends nearby instruments into the mix. It also helps in difficult rooms where omnis would give too much bass. Its low directivity leaves too little level difference for XY, but M/S and near-coincident pairs work well.
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 21 with a fixed 5 m cable to XLR-3M for installations. The Parabolic Disc Set option pairs it with Schoeps’ parabolic dish.
