Schoeps Colette CMC 6U Microphone Amplifier, MK 41 Supercardioid Condenser Capsule & Low-Cut Filter, Matte Gray

Take your audio recording to the next level with the Colette CMC 6U Microphone Amplifier, MK 41 Supercardioid Condenser Capsule, and Low-Cut Filter in a sleek matte gray finish. This high-performance audio equipment is designed to deliver superior sound quality and precision.

The CMC 6U Microphone Amplifier is engineered for 12-48 Volt phantom powering, with intelligent circuitry that automatically adjusts to the supply voltage. Regardless of the voltage, the amplifier maintains consistent performance characteristics. It's designed for low power consumption, making it an ideal choice for battery-powered recording. This amplifier provides the necessary electrostatic charge for the capsule to produce a signal, which is then amplified for optimal sound quality. The signal is conveyed in a balanced form at low impedance to prevent interference. The CMC 6U amplifier features a symmetrical, transformerless, direct-coupled Class A output stage for low distortion and high interference resistance.

The MK 41 Supercardioid Microphone Capsule is a highly directional audio tool, designed to attenuate off-axis sounds more than a cardioid. This results in a "drier" pickup, less prone to acoustic feedback. Its frequency-independent directivity ensures that off-axis and reverberant sounds are captured without coloration, delivering a natural sound even from a distance. This makes the MK 41 an effective, space-saving alternative to shotgun microphones. It's particularly useful in film sound recording and as a spot microphone in orchestras.

The 60Hz Active Low-Cut Filter, designed for the Colette range, effectively prevents infrasonic disturbances from being passed on to subsequent devices. This sharp, 24 dB/oct infrasonic filter at 60 Hz is permanently engaged, ensuring that wind or elastic suspension disturbances don't saturate your input transformer or amplifier stage. Despite its powerful filtering capabilities, it has no effect on speech signals.

The package also includes a 20mm Microphone Adapter Stand Clamp with Swivel Action for flexible positioning and a Solid Foam Teardrop Popscreen for protection at normal speaking distances. The popscreen has a negligible effect on sound quality, making it a great addition to your audio recording setup.

In summary, the Colette CMC 6U Microphone Amplifier, MK 41 Supercardioid Condenser Capsule, and Low-Cut Filter offer a comprehensive solution for professional-grade audio recording. With their advanced features and high-quality components, they deliver exceptional sound clarity and precision.
