A complete Colette microphone therefore combines any of the twenty available SCHOEPS capsule types with an amplifier such as the CMC 6. The amplifier supplies the electric charge the capsule needs, amplifies its very weak high-impedance signal, and balances and matches it so that it travels cleanly to the next stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px;\"\u003eThe CMC 6 U is designed for standard 48 V and 12 V phantom powering. Its circuitry recognises the supply voltage and adjusts itself automatically, and its performance stays essentially the same either way. The 12 V mode draws more current but consumes less power, which can be preferred for battery-powered recording. Inside is a balanced, direct-coupled class-A amplifier that gives a low output impedance, high RF shielding and minimal distortion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"border-collapse:collapse;margin:6px 0 18px;width:100%;max-width:100%;table-layout:fixed;\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 8px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #DDE2E8;vertical-align:top;word-break:normal;overflow-wrap:break-word;width:55%;color:#5a6170;font-size:13px;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.05em;\"\u003eOutput impedance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 8px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #DDE2E8;vertical-align:top;word-break:normal;overflow-wrap:break-word;font-weight:bold;color:#006d77;font-size:17px;\"\u003e42 Ω\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 8px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #DDE2E8;vertical-align:top;word-break:normal;overflow-wrap:break-word;width:55%;color:#5a6170;font-size:13px;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.05em;\"\u003eMax.
