Small Diaphragm Condenser

The 2012 Compact Cardioid Mic is the best all-around, generalist mic that you can find to cover a wide range of close-miking needs on the live stage. It is a robust and reliable condenser mic, best for single instrument pickup. Its specifically powerful characteristics make it an extremely flexible mic that will shine on many instruments, particularly those in the high-frequency range. Durable, reinforced constructionThe 2012 is constructed to withstand rough handling on a hectic live stage. It has a thicker, more robust body construction of brass that is very durable and known for its corrosion resistance and tolerance against metal fatigue. In addition to the heavy-duty materials used, the surfaces of the mic handle and grille are treated with a protective black chrome finish, which ensures more graceful ageing.Unmatched transient responseThe 2012, is a professional condenser mic, making it the best choice for those instruments that produce high frequencies. It has a far better transient response than any dynamic microphone, which allows it to pick up the most delicate sound with tremendous accuracy. Uniform cardioid directionalityThe 2012 has a cardioid capsule with DPA’s famously flat off-axis response. Besides a high gain-before-feedback, this characteristic makes it easier for sound engineers to handle bleed from other instruments at close proximity. The 2012 picks up off-axis sounds in a very natural and attenuated way.  Outstanding SPL handlingThe 2012 can cope with both extremely high SPLs as well as capture very delicate sounds. With a max SPL, peak before clipping of 156 dB, the 2012, works well on many different instruments and can handle the loudest drums, guitars, horns and more.Natural and precise sound reproductionLike all other DPA microphones, the 2012 delivers pure, transparent sound quality.

The MK-102 features a small physical profile and flat, extended frequency response – qualities not typically found together in large diaphragm mics. The Capsule The MK-102 features a large 27.5 mm condenser capsule using all-brass backplate construction, precision-drilled pattern control holes and optimal 5 micron diaphragm for classic LDC microphone presence on vocals or instruments. Capsule Housing & Body A close-fitting housing surrounds the capsule and allows the front diaphragm to function in free-air without internal headbasket reflections. In addition, the MK-102’s unique capsule and body orientation reduces reflections between the microphone and the sound source. The MK-102 body disappears completely behind the capsule head when the mic is aimed at the sound source. This leaves only the capsule diaphragm exposed to the sound source for minimal reflections and clear-sounding recordings. The Circuit The MK-102 uses the same transformerless circuit found in the renowned MK-012 (over 90,000 in use worldwide) to deliver the alluring sound of direct phantom power applied to a large diaphragm capsule. The Sound On-axis - The MK-102 offers a smooth and extended frequency response with clean and accurate top end free from the harsh, excessively bright sound found in many modern microphones. Off-axis - Frequency response from 90 through 180 degrees closely resembles the on-axis sound and the attenuation of sound over this angular range is exceptionally smooth. The MK-102 excels where the recordist desires a large diaphragm cardioid condenser mic with a flat frequency response that is maintained from 0 to 180 degrees to achieve a natural room sound spectral balance.

ML-2 MODELING MICROPHONE The ML-2 microphone is the second model in our award-winning Virtual Microphone System. This small diaphragm microphone is capable of recreating the tone of an entire mic locker of instrument mics – including dynamics like the 57 and 421, cardioid models of classic ribbons like the 121, other famous small diaphragm mics like the 451 and 222, and even large diaphragm mics like the famous 414 and tube 67. Like its big brother the ML-1, the ML-2 was designed to have an ultra linear response with no distortion, so that it can serve as a blank canvas for our modeling software. We tested a large number of mics during the development of the ML-2, and we found that even the most expensive small-diaphragm microphone designs saturate when micing very loud and transient-rich sources like close mic’d drums. Therefore, we added a proprietary switch on the ML-2 called “Dynamic” which attenuates the mic’s output and repolarizes the capsule, allowing the ML-2 to be used in extremely high SPL situations without overloading or saturating. As a result, it can be used just like a dynamic mic on drums, guitar cabs, and more. To get the most out of the ML-2 you can pair it with our VRS8 interface, which includes eight VMS Ultra Linear mic preamps. Additionally, the ML-2 is available a la carte and can work with any preamp, although we can’t guarantee that the software emulations will be accurate. LATENCY FREE PROCESSING The Virtual Microphone System software consists of the Classic Tubes microphone module, which contains eight classic tube microphone models. None of these processing blocks add any latency to the audio signal, so if you use a low latency interface with VMS you can track through the VMS software without any audible monitoring delay. To accomplish this, we recommend a Thunderbolt or fast USB interface, recording at 96khz with the lowest buffer size possible. The combination of the 96khz sampling rate and low buffer size ensures the lowest possible latency.

Consisting of 2 paired SCHOEPS CMC 6 microphone amplifiers and 2 MK 4 cardioid capsules Includes 2x SG20 microphone clamps and 2x B5D windscreen in elegant wooden case The MK 4 has been a reference microphone for years in a wide variety of recording situations. Due to its transparent sound character and excellent attenuation of rear-incident sound, it reproduces sound sources very naturally. This has given the MK 4 a reputation as a universal "problem solver" even in difficult recording situations. Its flat frequency response, and the constancy of its directional pattern for all frequencies, are the basis of the MK4’s sound quality. Even in the diffuse sound field its frequency response is flat, with a slight increase at 10 kHz compensating for high-frequency losses in the room. Thus the sound image is transparent for direct-arriving sound, for sound arriving from the side, and for diffuse sound in the room (reverberation). The MK 4 is a classic small-diaphragm microphone with all the advantages of this microphone type. Its frequency response and the consistency of its polar diagram from low to high frequencies are exemplary. Like all SCHOEPS capsules, the MK 4 achieves its flat frequency response solely by its mechanical architecture, without any electronic filtering. As a pressure gradient transducer, the MK 4 has a single diaphragm that is exposed to the sound from both the front and rear. The side sound inlets must therefore never be covered. The “reach” (distance factor) of a classic cardioid such as the MK 4 is about 1.7 times that of an omnidirectional microphone. Thus even at greater distances from the sound source, direct sound can be obtained. The advantages of the MK 4 are shown especially when mixing several microphone signals - pickup of sound from the side is reduced in level but not subject to coloration. At 90° the attenuation of the MK 4 is 6 dB, and at 180°, some 20 to 30 dB. Diffuse-incident sound is picked up 4.8 dB lower in level than front-arriving sound. flat frequency response very low harmonic distortion and noise works with 12V and 48V phantom power balanced, low-impedance output high suppression of interference on the microphone cable excellent protection against high-frequency radio interference with "RFI Shield" frequency-independent impedance signal transmission possible over very long cables reliable operation even with weak phantom power symmetrical, transformer- and capacitor-free output stage with a class-A amplifier above 20 kHz, the signal is attenuated for protection against interference in the ultrasonic range, e.g. through the ultrasonic autofocus of a film camera The capsules of condenser microphones can't be connected directly to microphone cables or inputs; a microphone amplifier is required in between. Thus a complete microphone of the Colette series comprises any of the twenty available types of capsules combined with an amplifier. The CMC 6 U is designed for standard 48- and 12-Volt phantom powering. Its circuitry recognizes the supply voltage and adjusts itself automatically. Its performance characteristics remain essentially the same either way; mainly, the difference is that the current drawn at 12 Volts is greater than at 48 Volts. However, the 12-Volt mode consumes less power and might be preferred for battery-powered recording. The microphone amplifier is responsible for providing the necessary electric charge to the capsule, without which it would be unable to generate a signal. Since the capsule's output signal is very weak (Hi-Z), it must be amplified. In order for the microphone's output to cleanly reach the next stage in the signal chain, it must undergo balancing and impedance matching before transmission. The CMC 6 incorporates a balanced, direct-coupled class-A amplifier, yielding a low output impedance, high RF shielding, and minimal distortion.

The CCM 41 is strongly directional. Sound arriving from off axis is attenuated even more than with a cardioid. The pickup is “drier” and less susceptible to acoustic feedback than any other SCHOEPS microphone type (a loudspeaker should not be located directly along the rear axis of the microphone, however). 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 capsule produces a very natural sound pickup.This is a real advantage over interference-tube “shotgun” microphones, whose directivity is very frequency-dependent – exceeding that of a supercardioid only at higher frequencies. Interference-tube microphones are notoriously sensitive to their position in a room, where the shifting patterns of reflections cause corresponding shifts in sound color.Features:Supercardioid with highly consistent directionality throughout its frequency rangeFor music and speechHigh directivity, comparable to that of a short “shotgun“ microphone up through midrange frequenciesOften preferred for use in film sound recording and as a spot microphone in orchestrasSpecifications:Current consumption with 12 V: 8 mACurrent consumption with 48 V: 4 mAImpedance: 90 ΩMinimum recommended load impedance: 600 ΩLow-cut frequency: 20 HzLength (L version): without connector: 46 – 58 mmLength (U version): 46 – 58 mmDiameter: 20 mmWeight (U-version): 33 gWeight (L-version): 43 gSurface finish: matte gray

Like the CCM 41, the CCM 41V is useful in all situations with music or speech, either as “spot“ microphones or as overall directional microphones. How ever, this type of microphone is addressed from the side. It excels particularly in the constancy of its polar response throughout the audio spectrum. As a result, sound within 90º on either side of the main axis is picked up with virtually no alteration of frequency response or tone color. This is strongly evident with sound sources that are in motion, but is also of great benefit in obtaining stable, precise stereo imaging for normal music recordingsFeatures:Supercardioid with especially consistent directionality throughout its frequency range“Vertical” (side-addressed) supercardioid capsuleFor a very wide range of recording applicationsHigh directivity, comparable to that of a short “shotgun“ microphone up through midrange frequenciesOften preferred for use in music and speech recording, as a spot microphone and also as a main microphone, especially when using the OCT recording methodSpecifications:Current consumption with 12 V: 8 mACurrent consumption with 48 V: 4 mAImpedance: 90 ΩMinimum recommended load impedance: 600 ΩLow-cut frequency: 20 HzLength (L version): without connector: 46 – 58 mmLength (U version): 46 – 58 mmDiameter: 20 mmWeight (U-version): 33 gWeight (L-version): 43 gSurface finish: matte gray

The MK 4V was created in answer to requests for a cardioid with its main axis along the side. In addition to its usefulness in the concert hall, this microphone type is of particular value in speech recording, since its slight emphasis around 10 kHz helps to improve intelligibility.The directional response is especially well maintained even at higher frequencies, due to the acoustically transparent housing. There is less high-frequency emphasis of off-axis sound than occurs with most small, axial-response cardioids. The MK 4V still sounds somewhat brigher than the MK 4, however, because of its overall frequency response.Features:“Vertical” (side-addressed) cardioid capsuleFor a very wide range of recording applicationsSlight high-frequency emphasisOften preferred for singing or speaking voices and most instrumentsSpecifications:Current consumption with 12 V: 8 mACurrent consumption with 48 V: 4 mAImpedance: 90 ΩMinimum recommended load impedance: 600 ΩLow-cut frequency: 20 HzLength (L version): without connector: 46 – 58 mmLength (U version): 46 – 58 mmDiameter: 20 mmWeight (U-version): 33 gWeight (L-version): 43 gSurface finish: matte gray

This cardioid microphone, with its main axis along its side 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.Features:Cardioid pattern, side-adressedFor pickup of speech or music at close range (under 20 cm)Moderate low frequency attenuationSpecifications:Current consumption with 12 V: 8 mACurrent consumption with 48 V: 4 mAImpedance: 90 ΩLow-cut frequency: 20 HzLength (L version): without connector: 46 – 58 mmLength (U version): 46 – 58 mmDiameter: 20 mmWeight (U-version): 33 gWeight (L-version): 43 gSurface finish: matte gray

The CCM 5 offers two selectable directional patterns, but uses only one membrane – a no-compromise approach. The fact that full response is maintained to the highest audible frequencies is unusual for a switchable-pattern microphone.In its omnidirectional setting the CCM 5 is a true pressure transducer with smooth, extended low-frequency response, low sensitivity to most wind and breath noise, handling noise or mechanical vibration, and no proximity effect.Unlike conventional, dual-diaphragm multi-pattern microphones, its cardioid setting retains its full directionality even at very low frequencies. The benefits of this design in purity and clarity of sound are immediately audible. The CCM 5 has a slight high-frequency emphasis as compared with the corresponding single-pattern omni (CCM 2) and cardioid (CCM 4). Features:Omni and cardioid patterns, mechanically switchableSlight emphasis of the high frequenciesBroad range of applicationsPreferred uses similar to those of the MK 2 or MK 2S and the MK 4: In the cardioid setting: for use with singing or speaking voices or most instruments, as a spot microphone, and for stereo recording with coincident, ORTF or M/S microphone arrangementSpecifications:Current consumption with 12 V: 8 mACurrent consumption with 48 V: 4 mAImpedance: 90 ΩMinimum recommended load impedance: 600 ΩLow-cut frequency: 20 HzLength (L version): without connector: 46 – 58 mmLength (U version): 46 – 58 mmDiameter: 20 mmWeight (U-version): 33 gWeight (L-version): 43 gSurface finish: matte gray

This capsule type is a true dipole (bidirectional) transducer, operating with a single diaphragm. Its main axis is at a right angle to the capsule, and is marked at 0° and 180° with a red and a black dot respectively. Features:Pure pressure-gradient transducerFigure-8 pattern with near-ideal consistency across the frequency rangeSide-addressed (pickup perpendicular to the microphone body)Optimal for use in M/S and Blumlein stereo recordingSpecifications:Current consumption with 12 V: 8 mACurrent consumption with 48 V: 4 mAImpedance: 90 ΩMinimum recommended load impedance: 600 ΩLow-cut frequency: 20 HzLength (L version): without connector: 46 – 58 mmLength (U version): 46 – 58 mmDiameter: 20 mmWeight (U-version): 33 gWeight (L-version): 43 gSurface finish: matte gray

The CCM 22 has been developed for use as a spot microphone. It unites the strengths of the CCM 4 and CCM 21 microphones. Its directionality is only slightly less than that of the CCM 4 cardioid, while its sonic character is reminiscent of the CCM 21 wide cardioid. Its directivity is essentially constant throughout the frequency range. Its inherent low-frequency response is somewhat more pronounced than that of the cardioid, while proximity effect is somewhat less. Features:New kind of directional pattern: “Open Cardioid”Optimal combination of classic cardioid directionality (MK 4) with the sonic character of the wide cardioid (MK 21)Directional pattern largely constant throughout the frequency rangeOften preferred for spot miking and as a soloist’s microphoneSpecifications:Current consumption with 12 V: 8 mACurrent consumption with 48 V: 4 mAImpedance: 90 ΩMinimum recommended load impedance: 600 ΩLow-cut frequency: 20 HzLength (L version): without connector: 46 – 58 mmLength (U version): 46 – 58 mmDiameter: 20 mmWeight (U-version): 33 gWeight (L-version): 43 gSurface finish: matte gray

This type of microphone has a directional pattern between omni and cardioid. The basic idea in designing the CCM 21was to combine the advantages of the cardioid with those of the omni. This results in a pickup pattern which blends the two sets of characteristics in a useful manner. It has fuller and more extended low frequency response than a cardioid, with less proximity effect, while attenuating side- and rear-incident sound less than a cardioid.The polar diagram shows the directivity of the MK 21 to be only slightly dependent on frequency. This contrasts with omnidirectional capsules, whose directivity increases with rising frequency, and with cardioids (at least smaller ones), which tend to accentuate high frequencies that arrive at oblique angles. The MK 21’s orientation is less critical than with a cardioid, since direct sound arriving on axis and reverberant or other sounds off axis are both reproduced accurately. This lack of coloration in the off-axis pickup produces a “warm” and natural sonic impression. Features:Wide cardioid with especially consistent directionality throughout its frequency rangePleasant sound image, often described as “warm”Often preferred for use as a spot microphone, or as the main pair for overall stereo pickupSpecifications:Current consumption with 12 V: 8 mACurrent consumption with 48 V: 4 mAImpedance: 90 ΩMinimum recommended load impedance: 600 ΩLow-cut frequency: 20 HzLength (L version): without connector: 46 – 58 mmLength (U version): 46 – 58 mmDiameter: 20 mmWeight (U-version): 33 gWeight (L-version): 43 gSurface finish: matte gray

The CMXY 4V is a compact and versatile X/Y stereo microphone which is both elegant and very unobtrusive. Its mild high-frequency boost increases the intelligibility of speech and compensates for high-frequency losses typical of moderate recording distances. It thus lends itself ideally to music recordings, TV and broadcast use, e.g. on a table for discussions, for presenters, boom operations or as a stereo spot microphone on a stand.The side-by-side arrangement of capsules is somewhat unusual. But there can never be perfect three-dimensional coincidence between any two microphones, and the distance between center points of the capsules in a CMXY is only 21 mm. While this distance is in the horizontal plane, it is considerably less than the vertical distance between capsules in most other stereo microphones of professional quality. Thus the precision of stereo imaging and mono compatibility are fully in keeping with established professional requirementsThe overall width of the two microphones combined is similar to (often less than) the diameter of a conventional stereo microphone’s capsule assembly. This is possible by using the smallest non-electret condenser microphones with balanced outputs, the CCM Compact Condenser Microphones.Features:2 × cardioid with lateral pickupCompact, elegant and lightweightUniversally applicableThe angle between the microphones is adjustableWith XLR-5M or miniature output connectorSpecifications:Directional pattern: 2 × cardioid with lateral pickup (CCM 4V)Frequency response: 40 Hz - 20 kHzSensitivity: 13 mV/PaMaximum sound pressure level at 0.5% THD: 132 dB-SPLEquivalent noise level (A-weighted): 14 dB-AEquivalent noise level (CCIR): 24 dBPowering: phantom powering: 12 V ± 1 V (8 mA) or 48 V ± 4 V (4 mA), automatically switchedOutput impedance: 90 ΩMaximum output voltage: ca. 1 VLength: I-version: 110 mm, U-version: 119 mmWidth: max. 43 mmDepth: max. 22 mm

The capsules of condenser microphones (the only type which SCHOEPS manufactures) can’t be connected directly to microphone cables or inputs; a microphone amplifier is required in between. Thus a complete microphone of the Colette series comprises any of the twenty available types of capsules combined with an amplifier. The CMC 6 Ug is designed for standard 48- and 12-Volt phantom powering. Its circuitry recognizes the supply voltage and adjusts itself automatically. Its performance characteristics remain essentially the same either way; mainly, the difference is that the current drawn at 12 Volts is greater than at 48 Volts. However, the 12-Volt mode consumes less power and might be preferred for battery-powered recording.Features:Flat frequency responseExtremely low noise and distortionBalanced, very low-impedance outputCan be used with very long cablesWell-protected against RFIFor use with 12- or 48-Volt phantom poweringSpecifications:Powering voltage: 12 / 48 VCurrent consumption with 12 V: 8 mACurrent consumption with 48 V: 4 mAImpedance (at 12 V): 25 ΩImpedance (at 48 V): 35 ΩLow-cut frequency: 20 HzMaximum output voltage: 1 VMinimum recommended load impedance: 600 ΩLength: 116 mmDiameter: 20 mmWeight: 60 gSurface finish: matte gray (g) or nickel (ni)

The CCM 2XS (formerly CCM 3) is designed for placement in a diffuse sound field, i.e. at distances in reverberant environments where the greater portion of arriving sound has already been reflected from various room surfaces. In such placement the integrated frequency response of this capsule is essentially flat; the on-axis high-frequency response elevation shown in the graph below is not heard as such. It is remarkable how well-focused a recording can be made with omnidirectional microphones at such distances, when the microphones have been designed and placed appropriately.Fetures:Omnidirectional patternDiffuse-field capsuleFor miking distances at which the predominant sound is no longer directUseful for relatively distant placement in reverberant environments – as a room microphone, for “spaced microphone” stereo pickup and in “Decca Tree” arrangementsSpecifications:Current consumption with 12 V: 8 mACurrent consumption with 48 V: 4 mAImpedance: 90 ΩMinimum recommended load impedance: 600 ΩLow-cut frequency: 20 HzLength (L version): without connector: 46 – 58 mmLength (U version): 46 – 58 mmDiameter: 20 mmWeight (U-version): 33 gWeight (L-version): 43 gSurface finish: matte gray
