Schoeps CCM 2S Omnidirectional Compact Microphone

The Schoeps CCM 2S, the company’s most popular pressure transducer, is an omnidirectional microphone with a slight lift for sound from the front and only a gentle rolloff off axis and in the reverberant field.

Its response falls between the CCM 2 and the CCM 2XS, which suits it to a very wide range of recordings. Placed where direct and reverberant sound are about equal, in two- and three-microphone stereo arrays, it gives a balanced pickup.

For spaced A/B stereo and the Decca Tree, 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 2S with a fixed 5 m cable to XLR-3M for installations.
