The basic idea in designing the CCM 21 was to combine the advantages of the cardioid with those of the omni. This results in a pickup pattern which blends the two sets of characteristics in a useful manner. It has fuller and more extended low frequency response than a cardioid, with less proximity effect, while attenuating side- and rear-incident sound less than a cardioid.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe polar diagram shows the directivity of the CCM 21 to be only slightly dependent on frequency. This contrasts with omnidirectional capsules, whose directivity increases with rising frequency, and with cardioids (at least smaller ones), which tend to accentuate high frequencies that arrive at oblique angles. The CCM 21’s orientation is less critical than with a cardioid, since direct sound arriving on axis and reverberant or other sounds off axis are both reproduced accurately. This lack of coloration in the off-axis pickup produces a “warm” and natural sonic impression.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eWhen used as a spot microphone, the CCM 21 must be placed somewhat closer to the sound source than a cardioid would be, due to its lower directivity. Its uniform off-axis response helps to blend nearby instruments seamlessly into the overall mix. For wide pickups where some directivity of the microphone is advantageous, as in acoustically difficult rooms where the bass would be too strong when using omnis, the CCM 21 can be especially helpful.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe low directivity of this capsule type prevents it from generating large enough level differences.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe capsule and amplifier of a CCM microphone are combined in one housing. K versions include a fixed cable with an XLR connector.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Schoeps Mikrofone","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44450682372199,"sku":"154167","price":2394.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/schoeps-ccm-21-k_154167_1_0c49bb57-6f1a-49f0-b611-bb598b35e688.jpg?v=1787094083","url":"https:\/\/vintageking.mom\/products\/schoeps-ccm-21-k","provider":"Vintage King","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
