Schoeps CMC65G Microphone Kit, Includes CMC 6U Amplifier, MK 5 Switchable Omni/Cardioid Capsule, SG 20 Stand Clamp, B 5 Popscreen, Matte Gray

If you're in search of a high-quality, professional-grade microphone kit, the CMC65G Microphone Kit, including the CMC 6U Amplifier, MK 5 Switchable Omni/Cardioid Capsule, SG 20 Stand Clamp, and B 5 Popscreen in a sleek matte gray finish, is designed to meet your audio recording needs.

The CMC 6U Amplifier, an integral part of this kit, is specifically designed for condenser microphones, the only type manufactured by SCHOEPS. This amplifier is compatible with both 48- and 12-Volt phantom power supplies, automatically adjusting to the supply voltage. Regardless of the power source, the amplifier maintains consistent performance characteristics. The 12-Volt mode is particularly beneficial for battery-powered recording due to its lower power consumption.

The amplifier is responsible for providing the electrostatic charge needed by the capsule to produce a signal. It features a symmetrical, transformerless, direct-coupled Class A output stage, ensuring low impedance, minimal distortion, and high resistance to interference. The balanced, low-impedance output allows for use with long cables and offers protection against Radio Frequency Interference (RFI).

The MK 5 Switchable Omni/Cardioid Capsule included in the kit is a unique, switchable-pattern microphone that maintains full response to the highest audible frequencies. In its omnidirectional setting, the MK 5 offers smooth, extended low-frequency response and low sensitivity to wind, breath noise, handling noise, or mechanical vibration. Its cardioid setting retains full directionality even at very low frequencies, offering a clear and pure sound.

The SG 20 Stand Clamp, with a 5/8"-27 NS internal thread and a supplied adapter for 3/8" and 1/2" mounting, allows for continuous angle variation in the vertical plane. This robust metal housing with a non-scratching plastic clamp is designed to securely hold microphones of 20 or 21 mm diameter.

The B 5 Popscreen, an acoustic foam close-speech popscreen, provides sufficient protection at normal speaking distances for cardioids and other directional capsules. It can also be used as a windscreen for pressure transducers, with minimal effect on sound quality.

In summary, the CMC65G Microphone Kit offers a comprehensive solution for professional audio recording, delivering exceptional sound quality and versatility.
