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

• 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 six CMC6 microphone amplifiers and 18 capsules. It will be continuously expanded
• we rent Schoeps microphones with Rycote swing mount INV-7 or microphone clamp
• the price is for one CMC6 + MK
• manufacturing period: since 1973
   

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
• 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

• AB (2x MK2S)
• Decca Tree (3x MK2S + KA40)
