The Schoeps MK 2S Omnidirectional Microphone Capsule has a wide frequency range of 20Hz to 20kHz, allowing it to capture a diverse range of sounds with clarity and detail.
The MK 2S has a unique frequency response characteristic that falls between the MK 2 and MK 3 models. This, combined with its high sensitivity and low signal-to-noise ratio, makes it a versatile choice for a wide range of recording applications.
The 'Decca Tree' is a renowned method for stereo recording that involves the strategic placement of three microphones. The Schoeps MK 2S supports this method effectively, and for optimal results, it is recommended to use KA 40 accessory spheres with this microphone capsule.
The high-frequency emphasis for frontal sound incidence in the Schoeps MK 2S helps to capture optimal sound with minimal high-frequency rolloff off-axis and in the reverberant sound field. This results in clear, detailed, and accurate recordings.
