Schoeps RC Set Violin CMC 1 Colette Miniature Cardioid Condenser Microphone Bundle (Matte Gray)

Ideal as a spot mic placed above an instrument, the matte gray Schoeps RC Set Violin CMC 1 is a Colette Series miniature cardioid condenser microphone bundle offering elegant visual discretion and pristine audio quality for string players and pianists on concert stages.

This plug-and-play set includes the ultracompact CMC 1 mic amp, the MK 4 cardioid capsule, and a mic stand with a 39.4" support rod and a 27.6" active extension tube. The active extension tube inserts between the capsule and the mic amp, allowing the mic to impose minimal viewing obstruction.

The matte gray Schoeps CMC 1 U is a miniature Colette Series microphone amplifier offering uncompromising high fidelity in a lightweight and ultracompact form factor for studio recording, broadcast, and live stage applications. Presented as an alternative to the renowned Schoeps CMC 6 amplifier, the CMC 1 U is compatible with all existing MK mic capsules and Colette active accessories (all available separately).

It features a balanced XLR 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 U supports the high maximum SPLs tolerated by the various MK mic capsules (available separately).

The Schoeps MK4 is part of the Colette series of modular capsules designed for use with the CMC preamplifiers. The cardioid polar pattern results in maximum rejection of rear incidental audio signal, eliminating off-axis noise and feedback. The cardioid pattern allows microphone placement to occur farther from the sound source than a pressure transducer of equivalent sensitivity. The MK4 is ideal for both speech and music capturing, resulting in rich detail without coloration. The MK4 is also a viable solution for X/Y or Mid-Side stereo recording.

The cardioid pattern effectively rejects rear and off-axis audio signal resulting in greater signal to noise ratio and feedback rejection.

The cardioid characteristic allows the MK4 to be placed at further proximities from the signal source without degradation.

The Schoeps RC700 is an active tube mount designed for the Colette series microphone capsules. The capsule angle, relative to the tube, may be positioned between 0 and 120 degrees. The included RG8 swivel joint mounts the tube to a vertical microphone stand and base (not included), enabling easy height and angle adjustment.
