Schoeps CMC 6xt U | Microphone amplifier
incl. VAT
889€
- Constant frequency response (extended to over 40kHz)
- Very low distortion
- for operation with 12 V or 48 V phantom power
- completely balanced signal routing, especially low impedance output
- safe against RF interference with “RFI Shield
During the development of the CMC 6xt, attention was paid to low noise above 20 kHz. This maintains a high dynamic range, even when recording at high sampling rates or when down-pitching in sound design. This prevents the noise from masking the often very small useful signal above 20 kHz or becoming audible after pitching down. The frequency response of all axial capsules (MK 2 H/S, 21, 22, 4, 41, 5) is extended upwards to over 40 kHz.
Microphone capsules of condenser microphones cannot be operated directly on microphone cables or inputs. This requires the interconnection of a microphone amplifier. Each MK capsule of the Colette series must therefore be screwed to a microphone amplifier and only together with it forms a complete microphone.
The CMC 6xt can be operated with 12V and 48V phantom power. The CMC 6xt circuit automatically recognises 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.

CMC Microphone amplifier
In addition to the standard version of the CMC 6 U and 6 xt U, the following variants are available on request:
CMC 6 linear (No. 193002)
The CMC 6 microphone amplifier has a lower cutoff frequency of 20 Hz to keep infrasonic noise of various origins, e.g. due to air currents or vibrations, low. However, when using pressure receivers, there may be a desire to record frequencies below 20 Hz without attenuation. The CMC 6 linear allows this. On request, it can be supplied with a lower cut-off frequency of 10 Hz. Caution: Since pressure receivers also pick up infrasound down to very low frequencies, even noise from ventilation systems or rail vehicles can become problematic in large rooms, e.g. churches. The danger is even greater with pressure gradient receivers. Although they transmit the lowest frequencies from the sound field only weakly, they react all the more violently to other, undesirable stimuli such as air movements and structure-borne sound. Although these signals are outside the audible range, they can cause strong, audible distortion due to overdriving, especially of inputs with undersized transformers.
CMC 6 U +5 dB (No. 193001)
Microphones with such marked amplifier are 5dB more sensitive than the standard version. The limiting sound pressure level is reduced by 5dB and the disturbance-free voltage range decreases slightly. Using this version can still be advantageous if you need to boost the microphone signal above the noise level of the connected device, or if you usually record rather low levels. Otherwise, it is more likely to overload the input of the connected device or the microphone amplifier itself at high sound pressure levels.
