Schoeps MSTC 64g ORTF Stereo Microphone

The Schoeps MSTC 64g ORTF Stereo Microphone consists of a T-shaped body with two built-in microphone ampli­fiers, and a matched pair of MK 4 cardioid capsules of the Colette modular system which are mounted 170 mm apart with an included angle of 110° (ORTF system). The stereophonic recording angle is 95°.

This is probably the simplest stereo technique in general use. In al­most any situation it produces an evenly-spread stereo image with good localization, often with­­out the need for spot or ambient miking. Setup is particularly quick and simple since the capsule spacing and angles are fixed, with only a single stand and microphone cable re­quired. Placement is relatively uncritical and the technique produces good results even in the hands of an inexperienced or hasty user.

• For recordings with ORTF technique
• Placement relatively uncritical
• Good stereo imaging
• For a very wide range of recording applications
• For 12 / 48 V phantom powering
