Schoeps CMC 1 Table Set with MK 41 Supercardioid Capsule

The Schoeps CMC 1 Table Set includes the T 20 table stand and CMC 1 microphone with a MK 41 supercardiod microphone capsule. It is ideal for flexible microphone placement on the table and is suitable for conference and video conferencing applications. The MK 41 supercardioid capsule features a recording angle of (-3 dB): ~±60°. The speaker, therefore, does not move out of the main axis of the microphone

T 20 MINIATURE TABLE STAND

This elegant miniature table base with variable inclination and insulation from solid-borne sound can be used unobtrusively. An elegant cable routing is achieved, when the cable is hung in the wire eyelet, which is located between the pins and bottom plate.

It can also be operated without the vertical spacer if it is intended to be used near the table. The ⅜" table flange F 5 is suitable for a fixed installation at the table.

CMC 1 MICROPHONE AMPLIFIER

The CMC 1 is a small Colette microphone amplifier, about one-third the length and 53% lighter than the CMC 6. It is compatible with all components of the Colette system and can be used in place of the CMC 6 without compromise, for all applications in which the size and weight of the microphone play a role.

At SCHOEPS, “uncompromising miniaturization” means that the electrical characteristics of the CMC 1 are equal to, or even better than, those of the CMC 6.

• Complete alternative to the renowned CMC 6
• Fully compatible with all existing MK capsules and Colette active accessories such as the CUT 60 and RC tubes
• Suitable mounting accessories are already available, such as the CINELA E-OSIX-CMC1U and the Rycote INV-6 elastic suspensions

MK 41 SUPERCARDIOID CAPSULE

The Schoeps MK 41 is strongly directional. Sound arriving from off-axis is attenuated even more than with a cardioid. The pickup is “drier” and less susceptible to acoustic feedback than any other Schoeps microphone type, provided that a loudspeaker is not located directly on the rear axis of the microphone.

Its directivity is highly independent of frequency, so that even sounds arriving off axis and reverberant sound are registered without coloration. Consequently, even distant placement of the microphone produces a very natural sound pickup. This is a real advantage over interference-tube shotgun microphones, whose directivity is very frequency-dependent – exceeding that of a supercardioid only at higher frequencies. Interference-tube microphones are notoriously sensitive to their position in a room, where the shifting patterns of reflections cause corresponding shifts in sound color. Thus the MK 41 is surprisingly effective and a space-saving alternative to shotgun microphones – and being small, it can often be placed closer to the sound source.
