Schoeps CCM 21 L Wide Cardioid Compact Microphone with Lemo Disconnect, 30Hz-20kHz Frequency Range, 90Ohms Impedance, Matte Gray

After meticulous design and engineering, the Schoeps CCM 21 L Wide Cardioid Compact Microphone in Matte Gray with Lemo Disconnect emerges as a superior audio recording device that harmoniously blends the benefits of both omni and cardioid microphones. This innovative design results in a unique pickup pattern that effectively combines the two sets of characteristics, providing a more comprehensive and versatile audio capture experience.

The CCM 21 L Wide Cardioid Microphone boasts an extended low-frequency response that surpasses that of a standard cardioid microphone. This feature ensures a richer, fuller sound capture, while minimizing the proximity effect often associated with cardioid microphones. This microphone also attenuates side- and rear-incident sounds less than a cardioid, ensuring a more balanced and natural sound capture from all directions.

Unlike omnidirectional capsules, which increase directivity with rising frequency, or smaller cardioids that tend to emphasize high frequencies arriving at oblique angles, the CCM 21 L Wide Cardioid Microphone maintains a consistent performance across all frequencies. This results in a less critical orientation than a cardioid, as it accurately reproduces both direct sound arriving on-axis and reverberant or other off-axis sounds.

The Schoeps CCM 21 L Wide Cardioid Compact Microphone's lack of coloration in the off-axis pickup contributes to a "warm" and natural sonic impression, making it an ideal choice for professional audio recording in various settings. Its matte gray finish and compact design add to its appeal, making it not just a powerful audio tool, but also a stylish addition to any audio equipment collection.
