The Product of Over 50 Years of German Engineering!

When combined with a Schoeps capsule, the CMC 6 provides a flat, natural response with excellent protection from RF interference. The CMC 6 adjusts itself automatically from 12V to 48V depending on what the microphone amplifier is connected to, which is particularly handy for mobile recording where you're recording on battery power. The CMC 6 is a no-nonsense microphone body that uses symmetrical, transformerless, direct-coupled circuitry for premium sound. What you've got here is a pair of CMC 6 microphone amplifiers paired with MK 21 wide cardioid capsules.

Schoeps microphones are among the most respected in the industry. Since 1948, Schoeps microphones have benefitted from innovative German engineering and an ongoing quest for transparency. Their unique designs and impeccable audio characteristics have earned Schoeps microphones a loyal following in classical music and audio for TV and film. With Schoeps microphones, any studio can bolster their microphone locker, adding mics that are not only sonically excellent but steeped in a rich history. When it's time to upgrade your rig, don't settle for microphones that fall short. Reach for Schoeps.

Rated 5/5

Schoeps MK21 is a Life Time Investment!

I've used these (MK21) for a few years, one at a time, and as a stereo pair (usually spaced pair), and usually like them even better than the other Schoeps capsules I own (MK2, MK4, MK41) — which is saying a lot since all the Schoeps capsules are amazing — detailed yet warm. I also like DPA, which I consider detailed and cool. In the studio I use all the "usual" mics including various Neumann, AKG, Rode, etc., and tube and ribbon and dynamic, etc. But my "desert island" pair would have to be two of these Schoeps MK21.

Remember that they are a "more directional omni", so you can get pretty good room rejection, yet they are more forgiving than a normal cardioid directional. I've used them within a foot or two of woodwinds, acoustic guitars, etc., and also back 10' or more from acoustic groups (string quartet, blue grass group) or a drum set. Absolutely world class.

I consider the Schoeps CMC 6/MK 21 microphones to be some of the finest condensers made today. If you're looking for a stereo-matched set of microphones to capture every subtle nuance and detail - and are willing to pay for such precision - this stereo set is for you. These linear yet musical mics will provide you with a lifetime of recording excellence and unmatched performance.
