Schoeps CMC 1 KV Microphone Amplifier

The Schoeps CMC 1 KV, the shortest CMC 1 microphone amplifier, has a fixed cable leaving from the side and a magnetic back, so it hides easily as a plant mic on film sets.

It matches the CMC 1 U electrically and can stand in for the CMC 6 without compromise, taking every MK capsule and active Colette accessory such as the CUT 60. The included magnetic accessories mount it on door frames, steel beams, windows, and tabletops, and a suction cup holds it on smooth surfaces.

The standard version has a 2 m cable to an XLR-3M plug. Two versions with a 0.5 m cable to a 3-pin Lemo plug are wired for pocket transmitters that supply phantom power, one for Zaxcom and one for Sound Devices. Schoeps makes other cable lengths on request.
