Schoeps mono set CMC 1 K (XLR) with MK 41V | condenser microphone with supercardioid capsule

The CMC 1 K from Schoeps is a microphone amplifier that is approximately 60% smaller and 40% lighter than the CMC 6. It is identical to the CMC 1 U, but has a permanently attached 5m XLR cable instead of a built-in XLR socket. It can be used without any compromise instead of a CMC 6 with all components of the Colette system, including the MK capsules. It therefore offers uncompromising miniaturisation for applications in which the size of the microphone plays a role.

The electrical and tonal characteristics of the CMC 1 are in no way inferior to the CMC 6. On the contrary: thanks to sophisticated, modern electronic design, outstanding electrical properties have been achieved. This means that it can be driven at a particularly high level (135 dB-SPL with the MK 4) and still consumes very little power (2 mA at P48).

The CMC 1 K can be used in many setups (e.g. OSIX) that have a fixed alignment of the XLR connector and therefore of the amplifier. The alignment is also fixed in the compatible MS and double MS setups (e.g. Cyclone). This means that the microphone cannot be rotated at will in such a suspension. With axially aligned capsules such as the MK 4, this does not matter, but a vertical capsule such as the MK 8 must be aligned radially.

This accessory helps in such cases:
No. 800540: O-ring for radial alignment of an MK capsule
This O-ring is placed on the thread of the amplifier and ensures that the MK capsule remains permanently stable in any orientation. The O-ring is supplied with the MK 8 and all other vertical capsules (MK 4V, 41V) and can also be ordered separately.

No. 191102 Special colors: Nickel, chrome green and other special colors are available in the configurator available in the configurator
No. 191201 Engraving: individual engraving in the configurator possible

Like the MK 41, the MK 41V can be used for a wide range of music and speech applications, both as a support microphone and as a directional microphone. This type of capsule is side-firing and is particularly impressive due to the frequency-independence of its polar pattern. This means that the frequency response, and therefore the sound, remains virtually unchanged even when the sound incidence is less than 90° to the acoustic axis. This is particularly important with moving sound sources, where the MK 41V really comes into its own.
