Schoeps Mozart Orchestra Set with CMC 1 L Amplifiers

The Schoeps Mozart Orchestra Set with CMC 1 L Amplifiers is a pre-configured microphone package designed for small orchestras. It consists of ten MK 4 Colette cardioid microphone capsules and ten Colette CMC 1 L amplifiers, with schoeps stand arrangements. Three additional STR vertical support rods are also included for flexible setup—allowing for wind instruments to be miked from above or below.

The Mozart Orchestra Set is a popular choice for recording and broadcasting small orchestras due to its compact size, ease of setup, and high-quality sound reproduction.

• 10 x MK 4 Colette microphone capsules
• 10 x CMC 1 L Colette microphone amplifiers
• 10 x SG20 mic-stand clamps
• 7 x STR 350 vertical support rods

MK 4 Colette Cardioid Microphone Capsule

• The MK 4 capsule is renowned for its flat frequency response and consistent cardioid pattern across all frequencies, making it a reliable "problem solver" in challenging recording situations.
• Its transparent sound and effective rear-incident sound attenuation allow for natural sound reproduction.
• The MK 4 is particularly suited as a spot microphone for acoustic instruments or conference recordings, and frequently serves as part of the main microphone pair in XY, ORTF, and MS stereo setups.

CMC 1 L Colette Miniature Microphone Amplifier

• The CMC 1 L is a miniature Colette Series microphone amplifier with a LEMO output connector offering uncompromising high fidelity in a lightweight and ultracompact form factor for studio recording, broadcast, and live stage applications.
• Presented as an even smaller alternative to the small Schoeps CMC 1 U amplifier and a fully equal alternative to the renowned CMC 6 amplifier, the CMC 1 L is compatible with all existing MK mic capsules and Colette active accessories (available separately).
• It features a balanced mini LEMO output, compliance with 12 or 48V phantom power, and low current consumption. Its Schoeps RFI Shield provides high immunity from RF interference for a clean, low-noise signal. The CMC 1 L supports the high maximum SPLs tolerated by the MK 4 capsule.
