Schoeps MK 21 Wide Cardioid Microphone Capsule, Directional Pattern Between Omni and Cardioid, 30Hz-20kHz Frequency Range, 132dB SPL, Nickel

When seeking superior audio recording quality, the Schoeps MK 21 Wide Cardioid Microphone Nickel Capsule stands out with its unique directional pattern that expertly balances between omni and cardioid. This innovative design merges the benefits of both patterns, creating a hybrid that captures a fuller and more extended low-frequency response than a traditional cardioid, while minimizing the proximity effect.

Unlike standard cardioids, the MK 21 Wide Cardioid Microphone Capsule captures more ambient room sound, enhancing the depth and richness of your recordings. The polar diagram of this high-quality microphone capsule reveals a directivity that is only slightly dependent on frequency, a feature that sets it apart from omnidirectional capsules, which typically increase directivity with rising frequency.

In contrast to smaller cardioids that tend to emphasize high frequencies arriving at oblique angles, the MK 21 maintains a balanced and consistent sound capture. With a broad frequency range of 30Hz-20kHz, this durable and reliable microphone capsule is capable of recording a wide spectrum of sounds, from the deepest bass to the highest treble.

Furthermore, its impressive maximum sound pressure level (SPL) of 132dB ensures it can handle loud sounds without distortion, making it an ideal choice for recording in various environments and capturing diverse types of sound, including speech, music, or ambient noise.

In a stylish nickel finish, the Schoeps MK 21 Wide Cardioid Microphone Capsule is not only a high-performance audio recording tool but also a sleek addition to your audio equipment collection.
