Schoeps Blue Colette Set (MK41, CMC-1 & Cut-60)
Includes:
- CMC 1 U amplifier
- CUT 60 low-cut filter
- MK 41 microphone capsule
- B 5 D windscreen
- SG 20 stand clamp
- Peli Case 1015 blue/transparent
CMC 1 U Amplifer
The CMC 1 is our new, small Colette microphone amplifier, about one-third the size and 40% lighter than the CMC 6. It is compatible with all components of the Colette system and can be used in place of the CMC 6 without compromise, for all applications in which the size and weight of the microphone play a role.
At SCHOEPS, “uncompromising miniaturization” means that the electrical characteristics of the CMC 1 are equal to, or even better than, those of the CMC 6. Through modern electronic design, these outstanding electrical properties have been achieved:
- High maximum SPL: 135 dB-SPL with the MK 4 (0.5% THD or less)
- Very low current consumption: 2.0 mA at 48 Volts
- Operates on 48 V or 12 V phantom power
- Very high immunity from RF interference with the SCHOEPS RFI Shield
CUT 60 Low-Cut Filter
The CUT 60 is inserted between the capsule and the microphone amplifier.
- Recommended for use with the MK 41 on a boom
- can be screwed between MK capsules and CMC amplifier
- very effective suppression of low-frequency wind noise and solid-borne noise
- extremely steep filter (24 dB/oct.)
- The speech signal is not affected.
The CUT 60 raises the sensitivity of CMC 6 or CMC 5 amplifiers by 5 dB, but doesn't change the sensitivity of the CMC 1.
It prevents the effect of infrasonic disturbances from being passed on to any succeeding device. In particular, pressure-gradient transducers (directional microphones) produce very high infrasonic signal levels when exposed to wind or in elastic suspensions. These can saturate an input transformer or an amplifier stage even before the audible portion of the disturbance becomes noticeable.
To avoid this, a very sharp (24 dB/oct) infrasonic filter at 60 Hz is permanently engaged. It has no effect on speech.
MK 41 Microphone Capsule
The MK 41 is strongly directional. Sound arriving from off axis is attenuated even more than with a cardioid. The pickup is “drier” and less susceptible to acoustic feedback than any other SCHOEPS capsule type (a loudspeaker should not be located directly along the rear axis of the microphone, however).
- 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
BubbleBee The Spacer Kit Windshield w/ Long Fur Cover (XS)
Kit Contains:
- x1 Spacer Bubble base
- x1 Short-haired fur cover
- x1 Bag to store and dry the fur in
- x1 Long-haired spacer cover to be used in harsh weather.
The Spacer Kit gives you the weather protection you need to record sound with any shotgun mic, indoor or outdoor, in all kinds of wind.
The shotgun microphone windshield is constructed of a noise-free mesh base, with a coarse foam inside and our specially designed rubber mount at the bottom.
The combination of the foam and the mesh provides the perfect conditions for recording indoors. And if you suddenly have to act fast and go outside, simply slip-on the short-haired fur and experience the optimal transparency within seconds. If outside conditions get rough, slip on the long-haired fur instead and get the best possible wind noise protection with optimal frequency transparency.
When the recordings are wrapped, you can always keep track of your Spacer Bubble by leaving on the base on your boom or camera mic, and collecting the fur slip-on in the included mesh storage bag. In that way you’ll always be ready!
Features:
- Be prepared for all kinds of wind in just seconds
- Switch locations fast and always get the best transparency while blocking the wind noise.
- Specially designed rubber base for super easy and secure mounting
- Base windshield made from highly efficient mesh
- slip-on fur made from Bubblebee Industries' best imitation fur (high amount of hair pieces per cm2) which allows for optimal frequency transparency
- Quick drying of the fur if it gets wet. You can just place it in the mesh bag
- Save valuable time while getting best quality
- Practical mesh bag includes for easy storage and fast mounting
