In a nutshell
Schoeps CMC 6 (combined here with hypercardioid MK 41 capsule) is part of this family microphones which are very popular on TV stages and in radio studios; they have built their reputation there thanks to a large number of "active" accessories allowing many fittings and combinations. Their precision and their transparency have made them favorites for stereo pair recording. CMC 5/CMC 6 microphone preamps, which only differ in their powering, can be detached away from MK series capsules via KC active cable (integrating FET) or via GVC swivel which allows the angle between capsule and body axis to be adjusted. CMCx preamps have neither attenuator, nor low-cut filter.
Our recommendations
MK 41 cardioid capsule (pressure gradient transducer) is more wind and movement sensitive than its omnidirectional equivalent (pressure transducer); although its bass response is lower than MK 40 (cardioid), it requires the use of a windscreen (foam or polyester basket-type B 20/W 20) when it is mounted on a moving boom, or placed close to the mouth (plosives).
