Schoeps Compact Table Mic with Integrated MK 4 Cardioid Microphone Capsule, Matte Gray

Take your audio recording to the next level with the Compact Table Mic with Integrated MK 4 Cardioid Microphone Capsule in a sleek matte gray finish. This high-quality, professional-grade microphone has been a trusted choice for sound engineers and audio enthusiasts for years, thanks to its transparent sound character and superior attenuation of rear-incident sound.

The MK 4 microphone capsule is renowned for its ability to reproduce sound sources naturally, making it an ideal solution for a wide variety of recording situations. Its flat frequency response and consistent directional pattern across all frequencies contribute to its exceptional sound quality. This microphone is designed to deliver a transparent sound image for direct-arriving sound, side-arriving sound, and diffuse sound in the room, compensating for high-frequency losses with a slight increase at 10 kHz.

This compact table mic is a classic small-diaphragm microphone, offering all the advantages of this type of microphone. Its frequency response and the consistency of its polar diagram from low to high frequencies are exemplary. The MK 4 achieves its flat frequency response solely through its mechanical architecture, without the need for electronic filtering.

As a pressure gradient transducer, the MK 4 features a single diaphragm exposed to sound from both the front and rear, ensuring the side sound inlets are never covered. This design allows the MK 4 to capture direct sound even at greater distances from the sound source. The cardioid polar pattern of the MK 4 reduces the level of side sound pickup without coloration, providing an attenuation of 6 dB at 90 degrees and 20 to 30 dB at 180 degrees.

Whether you're recording a podcast, conducting an interview, or capturing high-frequency sounds, the Compact Table Mic with Integrated MK 4 Cardioid Microphone Capsule is a durable and stylish choice that delivers superior sound quality.
