Schoeps CCM 2H Omnidirectional Compact Microphone

The Schoeps CCM 2H, an omnidirectional microphone for medium recording distances, has a narrow sound inlet that lifts its response slightly above 6 kHz.

Indoors at medium distances, where direct and reflected sound are about equal, that lift makes up for the high-frequency loss in diffuse sound, and the overall response is linear. Its extended response and low noise suit demanding recordings of instruments and orchestras in rooms with balanced reverberation.

Beside the CCM 2S at the same distance it sounds more balanced and round, so the choice between them is largely one of taste. It is a common pick for spaced A/B stereo and the Decca Tree, where Schoeps recommends the KA 40 sphere attachments.

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 2H with a fixed 5 m cable to XLR-3M for installations.
