Schoeps Mono Set CMC 6 with MK 4 Cardioid Capsule

The Schoeps Mono Set CMC 6 pairs the CMC 6 U amplifier with the MK 4, Schoeps’ best-selling capsule and a long-standing reference cardioid.

The MK 4 keeps a flat response and a steady pattern across the frequency range through its mechanical design. Its rejection is strong: about 6 dB at 90° and 20 to 30 dB at 180°. It picks up diffuse sound 4.8 dB lower than sound from the front. It works as a spot microphone, on acoustic instruments, and for conference recording, and two of them make a common main pair for XY, ORTF, and M/S stereo.

The CMC 6 U amplifier detects P48 or P12 phantom power on its own and drives the cable through a balanced, transformer-free class-A output stage, with low distortion and strong rejection of radio interference. An active extension tube or the CUT 60 filter fits between the amplifier and the capsule.

The set comes with an SG 20 stand clamp, a B 5 D hollow foam windscreen, a Schoeps cable strap, and a case.
