Presented as an alternative to the renowned Schoeps CMC 6 amplifier, the CMC 1 is compatible with all existing MK mic capsules and Colette active accessories (available separately). It features a balanced XLR 3-pin 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 supports the high maximum SPLs tolerated by the various MK mic capsules (available separately). A stand adapter is supplied with the CMC 1.

MK 22 OPEN CARDIOID CAPSULE

The Schoeps MK 22 is part of the Colette series of modular capsules designed for use with the CMC mic amplifiers. The "Open Cardioid" pickup pattern was introduced by Schoeps in 2008. It lies between the classic cardioid and the wide cardioid, achieving both a fair amount of directivity and very-natural sound quality. Many years' experience of professional recording engineers with the range of Schoeps cardioids has played a large role in the development process. Meanwhile the MK 22 has become a preferred soloist and spot microphone, thus becoming an alternative to the "classic" MK 4.

• Optimal combination of directionality (MK 4 cardioid) and warm sound characteristics (MK 21 wide cardioid)
• Natural sound quality, due to highly consistent polar diagram across the frequency range
• Popular for use as a spot mic or soloist's microphone, as the mid microphone for mid-side, or as a main microphone pair at a spacing of approximately 8.3" and angled at ±55°
