Schoeps MK 4 Series Cardioid Capsules w/ Options

The cardioid is the most popular type of directional microphone. It combines the highest level of audio quality with optimal suppression of rear-incident sound. SCHOEPS cardioids have a directional pattern that remains the same at all frequencies. The range of applications for cardioids is unlimited. They are used for speaking voices as well as for instruments and vocal soloists.

MK 4 Classic Cardioid Capsule Classic cardioid Suitable for the widest range of applications, either as a spot microphone or for stereo recording with coincident, ORTF or M/S microphone arrangements With consistent directionality throughout its frequency range Often preferred for singing or speaking voices and most instruments

MK 4XP Cardioid Capsule; strong attenuation of proximity effect  (formerly the MK 4S Capsule) Cardioid pattern Suitable for the widest range of applications, either as a spot microphone or for stereo recording with coincident, ORTF or M/S microphone arrangements For pickup of speech or music at close range (under 50cm) Considerable attenuation of low frequencies

MK 4P Cardioid Capsule; moderate attenuation of proximity effect Cardioid pattern Moderate attenuation of proximity effect

The MK 4 is our best-selling capsule. It offers the highest sound quality, flat frequency response, optimal rejection of rear-incident sound, and a directional pattern that remains constant throughout the audio frequency range. In the diffuse sound field it shows only a mild rise around 10 kHz; the sonic impression thus remains free of coloration even when sound is arriving from all sides at once. The sonic impression is thus free of coloration whether sound is arriving at the front or at the sides of the microphone, as well as for diffuse sound (reverberation) in a room.

For those who dare to use their ears rather than just their eyes when choosing a vocal microphone, a Colette microphone using the MK 4 capsule can be a remarkable instrument.
