About Schoeps MK 4XP

Be prepared to experience superior audio quality with the MK 4XP Cardioid Microphone Capsule for Close Pickup, Nickel. This high-quality, durable microphone capsule is specifically designed for close pickup applications, making it an ideal choice for voiceover work and sound reinforcement in noisy environments.

Crafted by Schoeps, a brand synonymous with excellence in audio equipment, this innovative microphone capsule features a cardioid pattern, ensuring optimal pickup of speech or music at close range, specifically under 10cm. Its unique design includes a low-frequency rolloff to counterbalance the low-frequency boost that typically occurs during close-miking, thereby ensuring clear, balanced audio output.

The MK 4XP Cardioid Microphone Capsule is not just reliable, but also versatile. It is compatible with CMC preamps, enabling it to be used with a wide range of other equipment. This compatibility extends its usability, offering you greater flexibility in your audio recording and sound reinforcement tasks.

While this microphone capsule is primarily intended for speech audibility in noisy environments, it can also be used for music recording in exceptional cases. When used at a distance of approximately 10cm, it can deliver a flat frequency response, providing you with a rich, accurate audio experience.

In addition to its functional benefits, this microphone capsule also boasts a stylish nickel finish, adding a touch of elegance to your audio equipment collection. The MK 4XP Cardioid Microphone Capsule for Close Pickup, Nickel is more than just a microphone; it's a testament to quality, innovation, and reliability in audio technology.
