Schoeps Colette MK 4 Stereo Set includes two matched microphones from the renowned Colette series, housed in an elegant wooden case. Each set contains two CMC 6 microphone amplifiers paired with MK 4 cardioid capsules, two SG 20 stand adapters, and two B 5 D foam windscreens. Every component reflects Schoeps’ signature precision, offering exceptional tonal balance, natural response, and impeccable build quality for professional recording environments.
The MK 4 capsule is Schoeps’ most popular model, prized for its clarity, flat frequency response, and precise cardioid directivity that remains consistent across the entire frequency range. It delivers optimal rejection of rear-incident sound while maintaining a natural, uncolored tonal character—even in diffuse sound fields. This makes it ideal for both studio and location recording, whether as a single microphone, a stereo pair, or in coincident, ORTF, or M/S configurations.
Each microphone is designed with a soft plastic holder and metal base for stability, while the B 5 D windscreen ensures superior protection against plosives and wind noise. The Colette series’ modular design allows for various capsule and amplifier combinations, ensuring full flexibility for diverse recording setups. Perfect for vocals, instruments, and ambient recording, the MK 4 Stereo Set provides a refined, transparent, and true-to-life sound that defines Schoeps’ reputation worldwide.
