Schoeps CCM 4P Compact Cardioid Microphone for Close Pickup

• cardioid pattern
• for pickup of speech or music at close range (under 20 cm)
• moderate attenuation of low frequencies
• Preferred applications: close speech pickup

This microphone can also be ordered as a modular Colette microphone, where the CMC 1 L amplifier is combined with an MK microphone capsule. (CMC 1 L + MK 4P)
This variant allows the capsule to be exchanged and has advantages in terms of electrical properties in combination with digital wireless transmitters.

DESCRIPTION

This cardioid microphone is designed for the very closest speech pickup, i.e. directly in front of the speaker’s mouth.

Its low-frequency rolloff is compensated by proximity effect. Thus it has (up to the point of its high-frequency emphasis) a flat frequency response for the speaker’s voice, while showing a rolloff at low frequencies for all sound that originates from a greater distance. As a result, background sounds are picked up less strongly than the person speaking.

PRODUCT HISTORY

• 1994: Launch of the CCM, hybrid technology circuit. The capsule part is identical to the MK capsules from the beginning  
• 2016: better RF filter to protect from interferences
• 2017: Polarization voltage generator now with higher frequency above 200 kHz due to downpitching in sound design applications.

Included Accessories: K5LU cable and SGC mounting clip
