Schoeps MK 4XP Cardioid (Very Close Pickup) Microphone Capsule

Cardioid (Very Close Pickup) Microphone Capsule

This product is currently out of stock and unavailable.

Description

  • Cardioid for very close speech pickup (<10 cm)
  • Low-frequency response rolloff (-10 dB at 100 Hz)
  • Polar diagram identical as the MK 4
  • Preferred applications: close speech pickup, public address systems

This cardioid capsule is designed for the very closest speech pickup, i.e. directly in front of the speaker?s mouth.

Its low-frequency rolloff is compensated by proximity effect. Thus it has (up to the point of its high-frequency emphasis) a flat frequency response for the speaker?s voice, while showing a rolloff at low frequencies for all sound that originates from a greater distance. As a result, background sounds are picked up less strongly than the person speaking.
