A Classic from the "Colette" Series, Built to Last
The modular "Colette" series from Schoeps has become a benchmark for demanding recording. In this stereo set, each MK 4 capsule is delivered with a pairing certificate, and its response curves are archived at the factory. This traceability facilitates maintenance and guarantees, for years, the performance level that has made the brand renowned.
Who Is This Matched Stereo Kit For?
For sound recordists and engineers who want a coherent cardioid pair for music, ambiance, events, or post-production. Ideal for stereo pairs of the X/Y, ORTF, NOS, or DIN type, it offers a precise image, very neutral sound coloration, and quick setup thanks to the included accessories.
Features and Key Points for Sound Recording
The MK 4 capsule combined with the CMC 6 amplifier delivers a wide frequency response and high dynamic range, with a 20 Hz (12 dB/oct.) low-cut filter to contain sub-bass and handling noise. Schoeps RFI shielding ensures exemplary immunity to modern interference. The balanced XLR output and high common-mode rejection maintain an excellent signal-to-noise ratio, even with cable runs over 400 m. This complete and robust stereo set is a sustainable professional solution for any stereophonic configuration.
