The capsules sit 170 mm apart at an angle of 110° to each other, exactly as the ORTF method requires, so the distance and the offset angle never need to be adjusted. Its compact elegance and excellent spatial quality give very good localisation and a very good spatial impression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px;\"\u003eThe MSTC usually gives very good results even without spot microphones, and its placement is relatively uncritical, which makes it suitable for less experienced or hurried users. Set-up is quick and easy: only a single stand and a single cable are needed. The current model has completely renewed electronics and a new design, based on the updated circuitry of the CMC 1 amplifier with lower operating current, equal or greater headroom and better protection from interference. The output is an XLR-5M connector for a stereo cable such as the KS 5 U or the AK SU\/2U breakout cable.\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;\"\u003e17 cm, 110°, recording angle 95°\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;\"\u003eORTF\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;\"\u003eEquivalent noise level\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;\"\u003e14 dB-A\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;\"\u003eMaximum SPL\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;\"\u003e135 dB-SPL\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;\"\u003eWeight with capsules\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;\"\u003e232 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:17px;font-weight:700;color:#0D1B3E;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.06em;margin:30px 0 12px;padding:0 0 7px;border-bottom:2px solid #006D77;\"\u003eKey features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"margin:0 0 14px;padding-left:20px;\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStereo microphone for the ORTF technique\u003c\/strong\u003e: two cardioid capsules 17 cm apart at 110°\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003eExcellent stereophonic characteristics: very good localisation and spatial quality\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003eTwo paired \u003cstrong\u003eMK 4\u003c\/strong\u003e cardioid capsules on a T-shaped two-channel amplifier\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003eCompletely renewed electronics and new design in the current model\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003eQuick set-up with one stand and one cable; no adjustment of distance or angle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003eXLR-5M analog two-channel output\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003eP48 and P12 powering, 2 mA per channel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003eSCHOEPS RFI shield; cable runs of more than 400 m\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:17px;font-weight:700;color:#0D1B3E;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.06em;margin:30px 0 12px;padding:0 0 7px;border-bottom:2px solid #006D77;\"\u003eVersions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px;\"\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eMSTC 74\u003c\/strong\u003e (No. 139901) comes with two matched MK 4 cardioid capsules.
