In a nutshell

Schoeps CMC 6 (combined here with wide cardioid MK 21 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 21 infracardioid capsule (pressure gradient transducer) is more wind and movement sensitive than its omnidirectional equivalent (pressure transducer); so 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).
