Schoeps MK 4 Cardioid Capsule - Nickel

The MK 4ni Cardioid is one of Schoeps’ best-selling capsules. It offers the highest sound quality, flat frequency response, optimal rejection of rear-incident sound, and a directional pattern that remains constant throughout the audio frequency range. In the diffuse sound field it shows only a mild rise around 10 kHz; the sonic impression thus remains free of coloration even when sound is arriving from all sides at once. The sonic impression is thus free of coloration whether sound is arriving at the front or at the sides of the microphone, as well as for diffuse sound (reverberation) in a room.

For those who dare to use their ears rather than just their eyes when choosing a vocal microphone, a Colette microphone using the MK 4ni capsule can be a remarkable instrument.
