Schoeps CCM 8 Figure-Eight Compact Microphone

Built for M/S, double M/S, and Blumlein stereo, the Schoeps CCM 8 is a side-addressed figure-eight microphone with a single diaphragm.

A pure pressure-gradient transducer, the CCM 8 keeps an almost constant pattern across the frequency range, loses sensitivity at low frequencies, and shows proximity effect. A red dot marks its 0° axis and a black dot its 180° axis. Its sound is clear and neutral.

Sound from the rear arrives at full level with reversed polarity, so when it is used as a spot microphone, keep early reflections and unwanted sound away from its back. For M/S, the CCM 8 sits directly above or below the mid microphone, as close to it as possible. Seen from behind, its 0° axis normally faces left, with the engraved 8 horizontal.

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