The Schoeps CMC6 +MK4 mono set is a package with a SCHOEPS CMC 6 microphone amplifier and 1x MK 4 capsule.

The CMC 6 U is designed for standard 48 and 12 volt phantom power. Its circuit recognises the supply voltage and adjusts automatically. Its performance characteristics remain essentially the same in both cases; the main difference is that the current draw at 12 volts is higher than at 48 volts. However, the 12-volt mode consumes less power and may be preferable for battery-powered recording.

The MK 4 is usually preferred by opera singers and other experienced singers.

But its natural, transparent character is also very well suited to pop and rock applications, on stage or in the studio, where equalisation is part of the programme.

A microphone with a clear, neutral sound quality is the ideal starting point when a special "colouration" is required.
