{"product_id":"schoeps-microphones-switchable-pattern-st","title":"Schoeps Switchable-pattern ST","description":"Schoeps MK 5 Omni\/Cardioid Capsule\u003cbr\u003e The MK 5 offers two selectable directional patterns, but uses only one membrane – a no-compromise approach. The fact that full response is maintained to the highest audible frequencies is unusual for a switchable-pattern microphone.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e In its omnidirectional setting the MK 5 is a true pressure transducer with smooth, extended low-frequency response, low sensitivity to most wind and breath noise, handling noise or mechanical vibration, and no proximity effect.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Unlike conventional, dual-diaphragm multi-pattern microphones, its cardioid setting retains its full directionality even at very low frequencies. The benefits of this design in purity and clarity of sound are immediately audible.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The MK 5 has a slight high-frequency emphasis as compared with the corresponding single-pattern omni (MK 2) and cardioid (MK 4).\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Features\u003cbr\u003e \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOmni and cardioid patterns, mechanically switchable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBroad range of applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePreferred uses similar to those of the MK 2 or MK 2S and the MK 4:\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn the cardioid setting: for use with singing or speaking voices or most instruments, as a spot microphone, and for stereo recording with coincident, ORTF or M\/S microphone arrangements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn the omni setting: for recording instruments, singers, etc. at relatively close range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e The Schoeps CMC 6 Amplifier is designed for standard 48- and 12-Volt phantom powering. Its circuitry recognizes the supply voltage and adjusts itself automatically. Its performance characteristics remain essentially the same either way; mainly, the difference is that the current drawn at 12 Volts is greater than at 48 Volts. However, the 12-Volt mode consumes less power and might be preferred for battery-powered recording.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Features\u003cbr\u003e \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlat frequency response\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtremely low noise and distortion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBalanced, very low-impedance output\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCan be used with very long cables\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWell-protected against RFI\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor use with 12- or 48-Volt phantom powering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e The microphone amplifier provides the electrostatic charge which the capsule requires in order to produce a signal. Since only a minuscule amount of current is contained in this signal, amplification of the current is required. To avoid interference to the signal on the way from the microphone to the input of the mixer or preamp, the signal is conveyed at low impedance and in balanced form. The CMC 6 amplifier offers a symmetrical, transformerless, direct-coupled Class A output stage with low impedance, low distortion, and high freedom from interference.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Please note:\u003cbr\u003e The two amplifiers in a stereo pair of microphones should be of the same type. On request, Schoeps can select ”matched pairs” of capsules with equal sensitivity and frequency response for critical applications, at slight additional cost.","brand":"Schoeps Mikrofone","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44449232420967,"sku":"15879","price":5068.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/schoeps_switchable_pattern_st.jpg?v=1787088238","url":"https:\/\/vintageking.mom\/products\/schoeps-microphones-switchable-pattern-st","provider":"Vintage King","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
