{"product_id":"schoeps-mk-2s-238267","title":"MK 2S","description":"\u003ch3\u003eA Reference in the MK Family, Designed for Room Sound Capture\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe MK 2S has established itself as a highly appreciated choice whenever an omnidirectional capsule with a \u003cstrong\u003eprecise and slightly brighter\u003c\/strong\u003e sound than other variants in the same family (MK 2 and MK 2H) is sought. This sonic orientation makes it a particularly relevant tool when the acoustic environment plays a central role: concert halls, large reverberant rooms, choirs, orchestras, acoustic ensembles, or realistic ambient capture for film and audiovisual.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWithin the product range logic, the MK 2S positions itself as a versatile solution for those who want to retain the benefits of a \u003cstrong\u003epressure sensor\u003c\/strong\u003e (low-end stability, spatial coherence, absence of pronounced proximity effect) while gaining a touch of clarity useful to bring out air, transients, and room details.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFor Whom and For Which Uses in Studio or Live Sound Capture\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe MK 2S is aimed at sound engineers, recordists, and studios that regularly work in \u003cstrong\u003eroom stereo\u003c\/strong\u003e or ensemble recording. In an AB pair, in a two-microphone setup, it helps achieve a wide and stable panorama with a natural rendering of reverberations. In a three-microphone setup, it integrates particularly well in \u003cstrong\u003eexpanded stereo\u003c\/strong\u003e or three-point tree configurations, where phase coherence and off-axis response consistency become crucial.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThanks to its omnidirectional directivity, the MK 2S is also an excellent choice to capture a source in its context: piano in a beautiful room, acoustic guitar with controlled ambiance, percussion, or as a supplementary microphone to enrich a multi-mic setup. In large rooms, it is described as very comfortable as a \u003cstrong\u003emain microphone\u003c\/strong\u003e or \u003cstrong\u003eambient microphone\u003c\/strong\u003e, especially when placement aims for a balance between direct sound and reverberant field.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eClarity, Balance, and Stereo Integration: What Defines the MK 2S Personality\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eA Pressure Transducer Designed for Sound Field Coherence\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs a pressure transducer, the MK 2S favors regular reproduction and a stable spatial image. This is precisely what makes it so effective in two- and three-microphone stereo techniques, where placement \"close to the reverberation radius\" allows capturing a \u003cstrong\u003ebalanced sound capture\u003c\/strong\u003e: enough definition to read attack and presence, and enough ambiance to convey the size and acoustic signature of the venue.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eA Clearer Tonality to Better Capture Air and Room\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eCompared to the MK 2 and MK 2H, the MK 2S is described as \u003cstrong\u003ea bit brighter\u003c\/strong\u003e. Practically, this helps reveal ambient details, the sense of openness, and fine resonances without needing to push equalization. This clarity can also improve the intelligibility of an ensemble at a distance, where a too soft capture might lack definition once integrated into a mix.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility with Multiple Amplifiers: Extended Response Depending on Configuration\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe MK 2S is specified with a frequency response that varies depending on the associated amplifier: up to 29 kHz with CMC 6 \/ CMR, and up to 43 kHz with CMC 6xt. This information is useful if you adapt your recording chain to a precise specification (high-definition capture, need for extension in the extreme treble, or coherence with an existing inventory). In all cases, the goal remains the same: preserve transparency, minimize coloration, and obtain a reliable sound foundation, whether for classical music, ambiance, or demanding acoustic recordings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:2rem\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"flex:1 1 300px;width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency response\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e20 Hz - 20 kHz\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCategory\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003estudio microphone\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDirectivity\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eomnidirectional\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"flex:1 1 300px;width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConnection\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eXLR\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColor\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eGrey\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:2rem\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"flex:1 1 300px\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSensitivity\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e-37 dB (V\/Pa), 15 mV\/Pa with CMC 6\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEquivalent Noise (A-weighted)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e12 dB with CMC 6\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEquivalent Noise (CCIR)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e23 dB with CMC 6\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSignal-to-Noise Ratio\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e82 dB with CMC 6\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMax SPL (THD\u0026lt;0.5%)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e131 dB SPL with CMC 6\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"flex:1 1 300px\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e22 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e20 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e17 g\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Schoeps","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54357771944211,"sku":"238267","price":781.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/0872\/6803\/files\/f494228e94419c5e73b1158e03490ba59d06d761_1SCHOEPS_131011.jpg?v=1788182167","url":"https:\/\/woodbrass.shop\/products\/schoeps-mk-2s-238267","provider":"Woodbrass.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
