The Schoeps MK21 is part of the Colette series of modular capsules designed for use with the CMC preamplifiers. Designed for close proximity capturing, the MK21 provides a wide cardioid polar pattern that provides a uniform response around the front hemisphere of the capsule. The wide cardioid pattern provides a more generous pick at the off-axis sections, although not quite as wide as an omnidirectional. The uniform frequency response results in an overall "warm" tonal quality, enhancing vocal performances and instrument capturing at close proximities.
- Wide Cardioid Pick Up
- The MK21 features a wide cardioid frequency response which provides a uniform response at the front hemisphere of the capsule.
- Warm Tonal Quality
- The wide frequency response is uniform at the direct and off-axis sections of the capsule. The result is a warm tonal signal reproduction of instruments and vocals.
- Wide Linear Frequency Response
- The wide frequency response ensures accurate detail regardless of the source signal.
