Schoeps MK 2H Omnidirectional Microphone Capsule

A gold-plated ring narrows the sound inlet of the Schoeps MK 2H, an omnidirectional Colette capsule with a mild lift above 6 kHz.

The lift makes up for the high-frequency loss of diffuse sound at medium recording distances, where direct and reflected sound arrive in about equal amounts. Used there, it has a linear overall response and a balanced, round sound.

It suits natural-sounding recordings of instruments and orchestras in rooms with well-balanced reverberation. At the same distance it sounds rounder than the MK 2S, which adds a little brilliance. With the KA 40 sphere attachments it is a classic capsule for spaced A/B stereo and the Decca Tree. It screws onto the CMC 6, CMC 1 U, or CMC 1 L amplifier.
