The SCHOEPS Mono Set CMC 1 is a set with a Colette microphone: the compact CMC 1 microphone amplifier with an MK capsule, a stand clamp, pop and wind protection, a cable strap and a wooden case.

A Mono Set can be created with every MK capsule of the modular Colette series. The set is offered with the CMC 1 U, the CMC 1 L, the CMC 1 K and the CMC 1 KV amplifiers; standard versions include the MK 2 omni, the MK 4 cardioid and the MK 41 supercardioid, and SCHOEPS also lists a CMC 1 U set with the KMIT shotgun capsule.
