What we think:

All capsules are available in matched pairs with official Schoeps documentation. For matched pairs multiply the cost of the microphone exactly by two and then add $40 dollars for the matching fee! The amplifier bodies are available in sequentially serial numbered pairs at no additional charge. Any Schoeps product not found on our webpage can be purchased through Sound Pure. Please call and talk to one of our staff members to inquire about the price and availability!

Specs:

Frequency range: 40 Hz - 20 kHz Sensitivity: 13 mV/Pa Equivalent noise level: A-weighted: 15 dB-A CCIR: 24 dB Signal-to-noise ratio (A-weighted): 79 dB-A Maximum SPL (0.5% THD): 132 dB

Description:

cardioid pattern well maintained throughout the frequency range; for universal application; The MK 4 and CCM 4 are optimized for maximum rejection of rear-incident sound. Typical of the classic cardioid, at 90 to its axis the attenuation is 6 dB, while from the rear (180) it can be as much as 30 dB, depending on the frequency. The random-energy efficiency* the ratio of on-axis sensitivity to diffuse sound field efficiency is 4.8 dB. (The higher this figure, the less room sound is picked up by a microphone, and the less susceptible it is to acoustic feedback.) Due to its directivity, the MK 4/ CCM 4 can be placed 1.7 times farther from the sound source than a pressure transducer of equivalent sensitivity, while maintaining the same proportion of direct and reverberant sound. In the diffuse sound field (distant from a sound source in a room, for instance), this microphone type has flat frequency response except for a slight emphasis around 10 kHz. It is ideal for speech as well as for music recordings, with a well-defined sound image free of coloration. When used for X/Y recording or as a Mid microphone in a Mid-Side configuration, it delivers exceptional results. It is also the capsule intended for use with our ORTF stereo microphone (MSTC 64 or STCg). This microphone type has the most general applicability and is the type most widely used.
