You'll experience professional-grade audio recording with the Schoeps MK 21 Wide Cardioid Microphone Capsule in Matte Gray. This high-quality microphone capsule features a unique directional pattern that sits comfortably between omni and cardioid, skillfully blending the advantages of both.
Designed with versatility in mind, the MK 21 offers a fuller and more extended low-frequency response than a traditional cardioid, reducing the proximity effect and capturing more room sound. This makes it a reliable choice for a wide range of recording situations, from intimate studio sessions to bustling live performances.
The MK 21 stands out with its frequency range of 30Hz-20kHz, ensuring a broad spectrum of sound capture. It also boasts a high maximum sound pressure level (SPL) of 132 dB, making it capable of recording loud sounds without distortion.
One of the key features of this durable microphone capsule is its consistent directivity across all frequencies. Unlike omnidirectional capsules that increase directivity with rising frequency or smaller cardioids that tend to accentuate high frequencies arriving at oblique angles, the MK 21 maintains a steady directivity. This results in a balanced and natural sound capture, enhancing your audio recording experience.
In summary, the Schoeps MK 21 Wide Cardioid Microphone Capsule is a professional, high-quality, and versatile audio recording tool that offers a unique blend of omni and cardioid characteristics for superior sound capture.
