Product overview
The SCHOEPS TIMK is an integrated table microphone, ideal for live conferences, video conferencing and interviews at a table of normal height.
Microphone, tube and base form one unit: the capsule sits on a short tube that leans at 50° to the table top, and the solid 83 mm base stands stable on the table and is insulated from vibrations. A 5 m cable is permanently attached and ends in an XLR-3M connector, which makes the TIMK extremely easy to set up.
The TIMK is available with two capsules: TIMK 4 with a cardioid capsule and TIMK 41 with a supercardioid capsule, both with the 5 m cable. It is 91 mm high, weighs 550 g and has a matte grey finish.
