Schoeps CCM 22 K, Compact Microphone, open Cardioid

As can be seen from the frequency response curve, this microphone type has flat frequency response for frontal sound incidence. This yields a very natural quality when picking up sound that is predominantly direct, i.e. close to the source or in a ”dry” acoustic.

ORDER NUMBER:   No. 121008 CCM 22 K (permanently attached cable), incl. SGC and Premium Case

Features:

·         open cardioid

·         linear frequency response

·         preferred applications: close pickup of singers and instruments

PRACTICE

The CCM 2 is meant to be placed in close proximity to the sound source. The sonic impression never becomes overly brilliant or harsh. Please note that there is some directivity at high frequencies due to the physics of sound. Thus even with an omnidirectional microphone, it still matters which way the capsule is “aimed.”
