SCHOEPS A2P CCM

Product overview

The SCHOEPS A2P CCM is the Polarflex mount, an elegant way to realise the SCHOEPS Polarflex technique with two standard CCM compact microphones.

The mount holds a CCM 2 omni (CCM 2, CCM 2S or CCM 2H) together with a CCM 8 figure-eight. A Polarflex reference setup consists of the CCM 2, the CCM 8 and the Polarflex Plug-in, which processes the output signals of the A2P CCM. The plug-in is available free of charge.

The Polarflex technique was presented by SCHOEPS for the first time in 1998. It creates new polar patterns and sound characteristics that cannot be achieved by other methods, and the sound can be tuned while recording or afterwards. Apart from the A2P CCM, the technique can also be explored with microphones of the SCHOEPS Colette series.

SCHOEPS A2P CCM: frequently asked questions

What is the A2P CCM?

It is the Polarflex mount: it holds a CCM 2 omni and a CCM 8 figure-eight together so that their signals can be combined by the Polarflex Plug-in into new polar patterns.

Which microphones does it hold?

One CCM 2, CCM 2S or CCM 2H omnidirectional compact microphone and one CCM 8 figure-eight compact microphone.

How are the signals processed?

Both outputs are recorded and processed by the Polarflex Plug-in, which SCHOEPS makes available free of charge. The sound can be tuned during or after the recording.

Where can I buy the SCHOEPS A2P CCM in India?

The SCHOEPS A2P CCM is available from Shivansh Electronics, Kolkata, West Bengal, India, with delivery across India.

Workflow 1: Vocal microphone with an adjustable pattern

Studio engineers recording singers and speakers.

Connections

Setup

1. Fit the CCM 2 and the CCM 8 in the A2P CCM and aim it at the singer.
2. Record both microphones on separate tracks.
3. Set the polar pattern and sound with the Polarflex Plug-in while recording or afterwards.

Tip: The pickup character can still be changed after the session.

Workflow 2: Stereo spot pair on the piano

Classical engineers recording piano and concertos.

Connections

Setup

1. Place two A2P CCM setups as a stereo spot pair at the piano.
2. Record all four signals.
3. Shape the patterns of both sides in the Polarflex Plug-in.

Tip: SCHOEPS names the piano stereo spot pair as an ideal Polarflex application.
