Schoeps Mono Set CMC 6 with MK 41 and CUT 60 Filter

The Schoeps Mono Set CMC 6 pairs the CMC 6 U amplifier and the MK 41 supercardioid capsule with the CUT 60, Schoeps’ steep low-cut filter, a setup made for dialogue on a boom.

The MK 41 is a standard capsule for indoor film sound. Its directivity at low and middle frequencies comes close to a shotgun’s, and its pattern stays nearly the same across the range, so it picks up off-axis and room sound without coloration. It is less prone to feedback than any other Schoeps capsule type, as long as no loudspeaker faces its rear.

The CUT 60 screws in between the capsule and the amplifier. Its filter at 60 Hz falls at 24 dB/oct and is always on, so wind and boom handling noise stay out of the signal chain while speech is untouched. With the CMC 6 it also raises the microphone’s sensitivity by 5 dB.

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.

The set comes with an SG 20 stand clamp, a B 5 foam pop screen, and a case.
