Schoeps CMC1L4 Set

The matte gray Schoeps Colette CMC 1 L Miniature Colette Microphone Amp and MK 4 Cardioid Condenser Capsule is an ultracompact, space-saving Colette Series modular cardioid condenser microphone bundle designed to provide frequency-independent directionality and transparent, low-distortion sound pickup of dialog, foley, and instruments in film, television, and music production.

It includes the CMC 1 L (mini LEMO output) miniature microphone amplifier, the MK 4 cardioid condenser capsule, a stand clamp, a mini LEMO to XLR 3-pin cable, and a premium case. Thanks to the inclusion of the ultracompact CMC 1 L, this bundle serves as a lighter and smaller alternative to the CMC 6 and CMC 1 without compromising sonic performance.

CMC 1 L Miniature Microphone Amplifier The matte gray Schoeps CMC 1 L is a miniature Colette Series microphone amplifier offering uncompromising high fidelity in a lightweight and ultracompact form factor for studio recording, broadcast, and live stage applications. Presented as an alternative to the renowned Schoeps CMC 6 amplifier, the CMC 1 L is compatible with all existing MK mic capsules and Colette active accessories (available separately). It features a balanced mini LEMO output, compliance with 12 or 48V phantom power, and low current consumption. Its Schoeps RFI Shield provides high immunity from RF interference for a clean, low-noise signal. The CMC 1 L supports the high maximum SPLs tolerated by the various MK mic capsules (available separately). A stand adapter and a 16.4' mini LEMO to XLR 3-pin male adapter cable are supplied with the CMC 1 L.

Complete, no-compromise alternative to the renowned CMC 6 amplifier

Electrical characteristics of the CMC 1 L are equal to, or even better than, those of the CMC 6 (flat frequency response, very low distortion, and constant output impedance across the audio frequency range)

Only 1" long (about a third the size of the CMC 6)

Weighs just 1 ounce (about 53% lighter than the CMC 6)

Fully compatible with all existing MK capsules and Colette active accessories such as the CUT 60 and RC tubes

Compatible with all accessories of the CCM series

Very high immunity from RF interference with the Schoeps RFI Shield

Optimized RF protection of the CMC 1 L makes it ideal for use with transmitters such as the Audio Limited A 10

Balanced, direct-coupled, Class-A output circuit

Output is filtered in the ultrasonic range to prevent interference, e.g. from camera autofocus

MK 4 Cardioid Capsule The Schoeps MK 4 is part of the Colette series of modular capsules designed for use with the CMC mic amplifiers. The cardioid polar pattern results in maximum rejection of rear incidental audio signal, eliminating off-axis noise and feedback. The cardioid pattern allows microphone placement to occur farther from the sound source than a pressure transducer of equivalent sensitivity. The MK 4 is ideal for both speech and music capturing, resulting in rich detail without coloration. The MK4 is also a viable solution for X/Y or Mid-Side stereo recording.
