Schoeps CCM 2H Kg Omnidirectional Compact Condenser Microphone

Product Description

The Schoeps CCM 2H, like the CCM 2S, is ideal for natural-sounding pickup of instruments and orchestras in spaces with well balanced reverberance. The choice between the two capsule types is essentially a matter of personal preference. At a given miking distance the CCM 2H might be described as more ”balanced and round” sounding while the CCM 2S would give a slight additional brilliance. However, one might also choose the CCM 2H for slightly closer placement or the CCM 2S for slightly more distant placement – and then these two capsule types would have...

If this microphone is used indoors at medium recording distances (i.e. where direct sound energy is similar in amount to reflected sound energy), its overall response will be linear. Its extended frequency response and low noise make it appropriate for the most demanding applications.

The sound inlet of the CCM 2H is narrower than that of our other pressure transducers, causing a slight, purely acoustic response elevation above 6 kHz. This reduces the high frequency loss for diffuse sound, thus helping to preserve natural sound quality.

Omnidirectional microphones can be considered sonically optimal if realized as true single-diaphragm systems – which is what Schoeps does. Their strengths include exceptionally linear frequency response with extended low-frequency response and a low noise floor (in the case of Schoeps - even as low as 11dB(A)). The various types of omni capsules differ in the amount of high-frequency boost, which compensates for the high-frequency roll-off in the diffuse field. Thus, omnidirectional microphones can be free- or diffuse-field equalized.

The capsule and amplifier of a CCM microphone are combined in one housing. K versions include a fixed cable with an XLR connector.
