Schoeps Compact Table Mic with Integrated MK 41 Supercardioid Microphone Capsule, Matte Gray

After extensive research and development, Schoeps presents the Compact Table Mic with Integrated MK 41 Supercardioid Microphone Capsule in a sleek matte gray finish. This professional-grade microphone is compact and durable, making it an ideal choice for various audio recording applications, including podcasting, broadcasting, and live sound reinforcement.

The MK 41 microphone capsule is renowned for its ability to effectively attenuate diffuse sound energy, producing a clear, "dry" sound pickup. Its supercardioid polar pattern is exceptionally frequency-independent, ensuring sounds from the side and back are strongly attenuated, yet picked up without any false coloration. This unique feature has established the MK 41 as a global standard for indoor film sound.

The Compact Table Mic with Integrated MK 41 Supercardioid Microphone Capsule boasts a lower susceptibility to acoustic feedback than any other Schoeps capsule type, provided there is no direct radiation from a loudspeaker at the rear. The sensitivity minimum of the supercardioid occurs at approximately a 125-degree angle of incidence, and its directional effect remains consistent across all frequencies. This ensures off-axis and diffuse sounds are captured naturally, free of false coloration, offering a significant advantage over shotgun microphones.

Despite its small dimensions, the MK 41 offers high directivity, making it an interesting alternative to a shotgun microphone. As a capsule without an interference tube in front of it, the MK 41 can be placed closer to the sound source, providing versatile and high-quality audio recording capabilities. This product is a testament to Schoeps' reputation for producing top-tier audio equipment.
