The MK21Hg is a wide cardioid capsule that fits any of the Schoeps modular Colette series amplifier body.
The frequency response of the MK 21H rises at high frequencies, reaching +4 dB at 7 kHz. Unlike most other condenser microphones, this capsule's response does not then roll off, but "stays up" even at very high frequencies.
As with our MK 21, the frequency response of this model is exceptionally consistent for all directions of sound incidence.
This capsule type is an outgrowth of our field experience with the MK 21. It embodies suggestions made by various pop musicians who wished certain instruments (such as percussion, acoustic guitar and vocals) to be reproduced with a touch of additional brightness, while maintaining the essential uniformity of response to sound originating anywhere in the capsule's front hemisphere.
