CCM 4 Compact Microphone:
As Schoeps' best-selling compact microphone, the CCM 4 delivers exceptional sound quality with a flat frequency response and optimal rejection of rear-incident sound. Its classic cardioid design ensures consistent directional patterns across the audio frequency range, making it perfect for both speech and music recording. The CCM 4 excels in various settings, whether as a spot microphone, part of a stereo array, or in M/S arrangements, offering versatility and superior sound capture.

CCM 8 Compact Microphone:
The CCM 8 features a true dipole (bidirectional) transducer with a single diaphragm, providing a clear and neutral sound quality. Its figure-8 pattern ensures a unique balance of direct and reverberant sound, making it ideal for MS stereo recordings. Careful positioning prevents unwanted reflections, ensuring pristine audio capture.

K DMS 5U XLR-7 Multicore Cable and AK DMS 3U Breakout Cable:
These cables are integral to the Double M/S system, facilitating seamless connectivity and signal transmission. The K DMS 5U serves as an extension cable with an XLR-7F input, while the AK DMS 3U breakout cable splits the signals from the three microphones, ensuring efficient signal management.
