SCHOEPS "Mozart" Orchestra Set

Product overview

The SCHOEPS "Mozart" Orchestra Set is a plug-and-play set for a small orchestra: ten Colette microphones with SCHOEPS stand arrangements, enough to mike a small orchestra completely.

It covers two first violins, two second violins, two violas, two cellos, a bass, four winds (for example flute, clarinet, oboe and horn) and timpani. The set represents an approach to miking that SCHOEPS users have applied for a long time with hundreds of orchestras worldwide.

Each microphone sits on an RC active extension tube carried by an STR vertical support rod on a weighted BF 250 floor base. Three additional STR vertical support rods of various lengths are included for a more flexible setup, for example when wind instruments are to be miked from above or below.
