First and, to this day, leading small diaphragm modular system in which the amplifier section and capsule can be spatially separated from each other by active electronic components

• modular microphone system in which any type of amplifier can be screwed to any capsule
• components with active electronics (cable, stand tube, etc.) can be integrated between the amplifier and capsule
• supreme manufacturing quality
• approved output circuit without a transformer
• consistent polar pattern
• very high definition
• natural sound with only little colouring
• especially popular for classic recordings
• used more and more in pop music (grand piano, acoustic guitar, overhead)
• Echoschall is official rental and dealer for Schoeps microphones. Our rental range currently consists of eight CMC6, two CMC5, one CMC1U and one CMC1K microphone amplifiers and 19 capsules. It will be continuously expanded
• we rent Schoeps microphones including the Schoeps (Cinela) AC20 or Rycote INV7 elastic suspensions. Of course, we also have the SG20 stand clamps in our program.
• the price is for one CMC6 + MK
• manufacturing period: since 1974
   

Favourite applications of the currently hirable capsules:

• MK2S (omni with moderate high-frequency boost, 3 capsules): Most universal omni capsule from Schoeps, ideal for AB stereo and Decca Tree
• MK21 (wide cardioid, 2 capsules): warm sound, suitable for acoustic guitar, vocals among others
• MK4 (cardioid, 6 capsules): very flexible application
• MK41 (supercardioid, 2 capsules): high directivity, therefore particularly suitable for recording of speech and music in acoustically difficult rooms, largely hides the reverb sound
• MK4S (cardioid with bass roll-off, 1 capsule): similar to MK4, but optimized for near distance < 50cm, close talking
• MK41S (supercardioid with bass roll-off, 2 capsules): similar to MK41, but optimized for near distance < 50cm, hihat recording, close talking
• MK8 (figure-8, 3 capsules): Blumlein- and m/s-stereo
   

The following stereo applications are possible:

• AB (2x MK2S)
• Decca Tree (3x MK2S + KA40)
• ORTF (2x MK4)
• X/Y (2x MK4)
