SCHOEPS Mono Set CMC 6

Product overview

The SCHOEPS Mono Set CMC 6 is a set with a Colette microphone: the CMC 6 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 standard versions combine the CMC 6 or the CMC 6xt amplifier with the MK 2 omni or the MK 4 cardioid capsule; the capsule screws onto the amplifier to form the complete microphone.

The protection supplied depends on the capsule: the B 5 solid foam pop screen with the omni capsules MK 2, MK 2H, MK 2S and MK 2XS, and the B 5 D hollow foam wind and pop shield with all other capsules. Everything is packed in a fitted wooden case.
