Schoeps MK41 Supercardioid Capsule for CMC Preamplifiers - Matte Gray

Share

The Schoeps MK41 is part of their Colette Series of modular capsules designed for use with the CMC preamplifiers. Sound arriving from off axis is attenuated even more than with a standard cardioid. The pickup is "drier" and less susceptible to acoustic feedback, provided there isn't a strong sound source directly on the rear axis of the microphone. Its directivity is highly independent of frequency, so that even sounds arriving off axis and reverberant sound are registered without coloration. Consequently, even distant placement of the microphone produces a very natural sound pickup. It is often preferred for use in film sound recording and as a spot microphone in orchestras. Available in Matte Gray (g) or Nickel (ni).
