Get to know them!

Offering seamless compatibility with all MK capsules and Colette accessories, the Schoeps CMD 42 is a robust digital microphone amplifier for the company's modular Colette series. It boasts an AES42 interface with support for Modes 1 and 2, and it delivers optimal performance in film sound and sound design scenarios. The CMD 42 integrates flawlessly with myriad digital wireless transmitters, including the Sound Devices A20-TX, Zaxcom TRX743, and Zaxcom TRX745. Beyond that, you get convenient remote control via the free Schoeps Remote app, available for both iOS and Android devices. Many of us here at Sweetwater have been ardent Colette series users since its introduction in 1974, and the CMD 42 feels like a natural evolution, preserving the timeless sonic character and elegant form factor of the original while embracing the precision, flexibility, and control demanded by today's digital-based workflows.

Select manufacturers may require that only the manufacturer’s products qualify towards the minimum purchase amount needed to be eligible for promotional financing. Otherwise, an invoice that meets the minimum purchase amount and contains at least one qualifying manufacturer product is eligible for promotional financing. No interest will be charged on promo purchase balance, and equal monthly payments are required on promo purchase until it is paid in full. The payments equal the amount financed divided by the number of months in the promo period, rounded up to the next whole dollar. These payments may be higher than the payments that would be required if this purchase was a non-promo purchase. During the last month(s) of the promo period the required monthly payment may be reduced due to the prior months’ rounding. Regular account terms apply to non-promo purchases. New Accounts as of 07/31/2025: Purchase APR is 34.99%. Penalty APR is 39.99%. Min Interest Charge is $2. Existing cardholders: See your credit card agreement terms. Subject to credit approval.

The estimated required monthly payment shown which excludes taxes and delivery equals the amount financed divided by the number of months in the promo period, rounded up to the next cent. During the last month(s) of the promo period the required monthly payment may be reduced due to this rounding. These payments apply only with the financing offer shown. If you make these payments by the due date each month, you should pay off this amount financed within the promo period, if it is the only balance you are paying off. If you have other balances on your account, this payment will be added to any other minimum monthly payments.
