Schoeps CMC 1 U Microphone Amplifier

The Schoeps CMC 1 U packs a Colette microphone amplifier with an XLR-3M output into a body about one-third the length of the CMC 6 and 53% lighter.

Schoeps built it to stand in for the CMC 6, and its electrical performance matches or beats the larger amplifier. It reaches a maximum SPL of 135 dB with the MK 4 and draws only 2 mA on P48. It runs on P48 or P12 phantom power, and Schoeps’ RFI Shield gives it very high immunity to radio interference. A filter above the audio band keeps out ultrasonic noise such as a camera’s autofocus.

It takes every MK capsule and active Colette accessory, such as the CUT 60 filter and the RC extension tubes. Suspensions made for it include the Cinela E-OSIX-CMC1U and the Rycote INV-6, and an SG 20 stand clamp comes with it.
