Schoeps CMC 6

I will not repeat the CV of Schoeps MK4 CMC6 +, it is known.

UTILIZATION

For over 25 years that I use the torque CMC6/MK4 (or MK41, MK2, MK5 and MK8). And I used a lot of other small mics membranes. None met the quality of Schoeps. The finesse and balance are outstanding. Neumann KM100 series is the closest in terms of sound, but Schoeps gives a more detailed sound, maybe a little less warm but more upright.
The high quality of Schoeps is to maintain compliance with the stamps when you leave the axis is a rare quality among competitors, which makes the Schoeps very valuable in making couples.
A Schoeps is expensive, but worth the price, and the investment does not lose value over time.

Finally, I find rather odd opinion of SoundRecorder, he certainly had to deal with a broken microphone or preamp (or ears broken?). The couple is THE micro CMC6/MK4 I took with me if I could not pick one.

UTILIZATION

Personally I do not like,
the huge bump on the frequencies of the voice that rises acute and often make a side metal, screaming, see nasiard.
cuts down we can not solve is -4 dB -2 dB at 50 Hz and 100 Hz is like that.

That said good benefits,
- The clever system makes it easy to collette change caspules or ride a cable asset super useful in places with narrow or wide viewing angles lice hide in the decor, although these accessories are very expensive!
- A lightweight.
- A very expensive maintenance.

cons by far superior to AKG, we remain in close to the top of the range!

SOUND QUALITY

N / A

OVERALL OPINION

N / A

For specifications, each able to read a manual.

In terms of its use, I would say that a couple is at the top in terms of decision choirs, orchestras of all kinds, piano, overheads battery soft enough.

Then the combination of these two Schoeps without following mounting AB, XY or ORTF allows strict acoustic guitar sounds incredible.

In mono, the beautiful voice in well-treated. Singing impeccable, and test anyway when there is a non-singer guelard in the room!

UTILIZATION

5 years of work with, and I'm trying to order another pair as personal, because I miss them in some studios. Hard board to KM 184 after hearing that. Only the comparison DPA are in this category.

Negative recommendation and friendly to the firm Schoeps: the price of a couple, you could offer suspensions (almost essential with experience) and a shorting bar kit in stereo!

PS: the review "3stars" is based on a Schoeps MK41 + CMC6 (hypercardio) ... It has no place here!
