Its circuitry recognizes the supply voltage and adjusts itself automatically. Its performance characteristics remain essentially the same either way; mainly, the difference is that the current drawn at 12 Volts is greater than at 48 Volts. However, the 12-Volt mode consumes less power and might be preferred for battery-powered recording.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe microphone amplifier is responsible for providing the necessary electric charge to the capsule, without which it would be unable to generate a signal. Since the capsule's output signal is very weak (Hi-Z), it must be amplified. In order for the microphone's output to cleanly reach the next stage in the signal chain, it must undergo balancing and impedance matching before transmission. The CMC 6 incorporates a balanced, direct-coupled class-A amplifier, yielding a low output impedance, high RF shielding, and minimal distortion.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFEATURES\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eFlat frequency response\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eVery low harmonic distortion and noise\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWorks with 12V and 48V phantom power\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBalanced, low-impedance output\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHigh suppression of interference on the Microphone cable\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eExcellent protection against high-frequency Radio interference with \"RFI Shield\"\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFrequency-independent impedance\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSignal transmission possible over very long cables\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eReliable operation even with weak phantom power\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSymmetrical, transformer- and capacitor-free output stage with a Cass A amplifier\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAbove 20 kHz, the signal is attenuated for protection against interference in the ultrasonic range, e.g. through the ultrasonic autofocus of a film camera\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003ch3 id=\"toc_1\"\u003eMK 22 Capsule\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe \"Open Cardioid\" pickup pattern was introduced by SCHOEPS in 2008. It lies between the classic cardioid and the wide cardioid, achieving both a fair amount of directivity and very natural sound quality. Many years' experience of professional recording engineers with the range of Schoeps cardioids has played a large role in the development process. Meanwhile the MK 22 has become a preferred soloist and spot microphone, thus becoming an alternative to the \"classic\" MK 4.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFEATURES\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eOptimal combination of directionality (MK 4 cardioid) and warm sound characteristics (MK 21 wide cardioid)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eNatural sound quality, due to highly consistent polar diagram across the frequency range\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePopular for use as a spot or soloist's microphone, as the mid microphone for M\/S, or as a main microphone pair e.g. at a spacing of 21 cm, angle ±55°\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003ch3 id=\"toc_2\"\u003eSCHOEPS COLETTE\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe Colette series was introduced back in 1973 and has since been made up of mutually compatible modules that are constantly being updated and supplemented. No other microphone system has been on the market for such a long time. The Colette series invented the modularity in microphone technology and is considered more than ever before to be the best small-diaphragm microphone system.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eMicrophones from the modular Colette series are comprised of a microphone capsule screwed onto an amplification unit. Any capsule can be combined with any amplifier. Active accessories can be inserted between capsule and amplifier if desired. The RC active extension tube in particular graces many high-profile events with its stylish appearance. Due to its modular nature, the Colette system offers a large variety of options, for a wide range of use cases.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Schoeps Mikrofone","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44449232388199,"sku":"15876","price":4250.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/schoeps-cmc-622-stereo-set_15876_1.jpg?v=1787088238","url":"https:\/\/vintageking.com\/products\/schoeps-microphones-open-cardioid-st","provider":"Vintage King","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
