Schoeps MK 2H Omnidirectional Microphone Capsule, 20Hz to 20kHz Frequency Range, 15mV/Pa Sensitivity, 83dB-A Signal-to-Noise Ratio, Nickel

How can you capture high-quality, natural sound in a medium-distance indoor setting The answer lies in the Schoeps MK 2H Nickel Omnidirectional Microphone Capsule. Designed for use in environments where direct and reflected sound energy are in equal measure, this microphone capsule delivers a linear response, ensuring a faithful reproduction of your audio source.

The MK 2H is engineered with an extended frequency range of 20Hz to 20kHz, making it an excellent choice for demanding applications that require a broad spectrum of sound capture. Its sensitivity of 15mV/Pa and a signal-to-noise ratio of 83dB-A further enhance its performance by minimizing noise interference, thus delivering clear and precise audio.

Unique to the MK 2H is its narrower sound inlet compared to other pressure transducers. This design feature results in a slight acoustic response elevation above 6 kHz, reducing high-frequency loss for diffuse sound and helping to preserve the natural quality of the audio.

Whether you're recording instruments or an orchestra in a space with well-balanced reverberance, the MK 2H stands out for its ability to deliver a balanced and round sound. This makes it a preferred choice for those seeking a natural-sounding pickup.

The MK 2H and MK 2S are similar in sound quality, with the main difference being the balance of direct to reverberant sound each picks up. The MK 2H is often chosen for slightly closer placement, while the MK 2S is favored for slightly more distant placement.

For spaced microphone ("A/B") stereo recording and especially the "Decca Tree" method, the use of KA 40 accessory spheres is recommended with the MK 2H.

In conclusion, the Schoeps MK 2H Nickel Omnidirectional Microphone Capsule is a versatile and high-performing audio tool, designed to meet the needs of professional audio recording in a variety of indoor settings.
