Schoeps CCM 2S K | Compact microphone with omnidirectional capsule

The CCM series from Schoeps consists of compact studio microphones with accessories. The microphone capsule and miniaturized electronics are built into a compact housing. The capsule and amplifier are firmly connected. It is particularly popular wherever small size plays a decisive role, e.g. on the fishing line, in the conference area and in multi-channel arrangements. The CCM series is in no way inferior to the microphones of the Colette series: their acoustic transducers (capsules) are identical and the electronics have equally good characteristics.

The CCM has been specially developed for use close to the sound source (sound incidence from the front), especially for recordings of instruments, singers, etc.

The CCM microphone can be operated with 12V and 48V phantom power. The CCM circuit automatically recognizes the power supply and adjusts itself accordingly. Their properties remain essentially unchanged – only the current is adapted to the supply voltage. This is higher at 12V than at 48V. Nevertheless, the power consumption is lower at 12V, which is advantageous for battery operation.

This microphone can also be ordered as a modular Colette microphone, in which the CMC 1 L amplifier is combined with the corresponding MK microphone capsule. This allows the capsule to be replaced and has advantages in terms of electrical properties in combination with digital radio links.

The CCM K version is available with a “grown-on” cable that ends in a standard XLR-3 connector. This version is mainly used for fixed installations in the conference sector. Instead of a cable, the K version is often connected as an elegant unit with a gooseneck or tubular element so that the microphone cannot be removed and is visually unobtrusive.

No. 191701 Pairing: Even if the manufacturing tolerances are small, microphones and capsules of the same type can be supplied paired including certificate. (On request)
No. 191102 Special colors: are available in the configurator ready

The MK 2S is characterized by a medium treble boost that specifically compensates for treble losses caused by the increased diffuse field component when placed close to the reverberation radius.

It is particularly versatile and is often used for AB stereophony or as a room microphone. Its brighter sound compared to the MK 2 and MK 2H makes it the ideal choice as a main or room microphone, especially in larger rooms.

Many sound engineers prefer to use the MK 2S for stereo recordings with two or three microphones, which are usually positioned close to the reverb radius. It is one of the most popular pressure receivers in the range.

The MK 2S is often used for AB stereophony or the Decca Tree, frequently in combination with the KA 40 ball attachment, which increases the directivity and slightly boosts the mid frequencies.
