The Schoeps MK41 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.
- Supercardioid Pick-up Design
- Supercardioid pick up offers more directionality than cardioid microphone capsules.
- Uniform Frequency Response
- Its directivity is highly independent of frequency, so that even sounds arriving off axis and reverberant sound are registered without coloration.
- Accurate Distant Sound Pick Up
- As a result of uniform frequency response, distant placement of the microphone produces a very natural sound pickup.
