Description

The SCHOEPS CMC 1 U with MK 21 Stereo Set is a refined solution for stereo recording, combining compact design with a natural and spacious sound character. This set includes two matched MK 21 wide cardioid capsules paired with CMC 1 U microphone amplifiers, all neatly housed in a wooden case. The MK 21 capsules are valued for their open and transparent pickup, offering a balanced blend of direct sound and room ambience that works well for ensembles, acoustic instruments, and immersive recording setups.

Paired with the MK 21, the CMC 1 U amplifier provides a notably smaller and lighter alternative to earlier designs while maintaining the same dependable performance and compatibility across the Colette system . Each set comes complete with matched components, mounting hardware, and tailored wind protection, making it a cohesive and reliable choice for professionals seeking flexibility and consistency in stereo recording applications.
