Schoeps MK 41G Supercardioid Microphone Capsule with Smooth Off Axis Response Matte Gray

The Schoeps MK41 Supercardioid Microphone Capsule with Smooth Off Axis Response is part of the Colette series of modular capsules designed for use with the CMC6 preamplifier. Sound arriving from off axis is attenuated even more than with a standard cardioid. The pickup is "drier" and less susceptible to acoustic feedback, provided there isn't a strong sound source directly on the rear axis of the microphone. Its directivity is highly independent of frequency, so that even sounds arriving off axis and reverberant sound are registered without coloration. Consequently, even distant placement of the microphone produces a very natural sound pickup.

Key Features

• Supercardioid with highly consistent directionality throughout its frequency range

• For music and speech

• High directivity, comparable to that of a short "shotgun" microphone up through midrange frequencies

• Often preferred for use in film sound recording and as a spot microphone in orchestras
