Description
The Schoeps MK 41 Supercardioid Microphone Capsule is a pristine example of acoustic precision, offering exceptional directivity and clarity for professional audio applications. Designed for the discerning sound engineer, it excels at attenuating diffuse sound energy and delivers a clear, “dry” sound that’s ideal for controlled indoor environments such as film sets or studio recordings.
With a remarkably frequency-independent polar pattern, the MK 41 minimizes coloration from off-axis sound, providing natural, uncolored audio even from the sides and rear. Its supercardioid sensitivity pattern reaches a minimum at approximately 125°, making it less susceptible to acoustic feedback than any other SCHOEPS capsule, perfect when used with side- / rear-facing loudspeakers.
Unlike interference tube designs, the MK 41 maintains consistent directivity across the frequency spectrum. Its compact, interference-free build allows it to be placed close to the source without compromising sound quality, making it a powerful and elegant companion for traditional shotgun microphones, like the CMIT 5.
Schoeps MK 41 Mic Capsule Features
- Supercardioid directional pattern
- High directivity, at low and medium frequencies comparable to that of a shotgun microphone
- Natural sound due to flat frequency response which remains essentially the same for all directions of pickup. This is particularly important for indoor recording
- Preferred uses: recording dialogue for film sound; as a spot microphone in the orchestra and on the opera stage
