The Schoeps MSTC 74 ORTF Stereo Microphone is a compact, elegant solution for pristine stereo recording using the ORTF technique. Featuring two matched MK 4 cardioid capsules mounted on a T-shaped two-channel amplifier, the capsules are precisely spaced at 170 mm and angled at 110°, delivering excellent spatial imaging and localization.
Ideal for ensemble and choir recordings, the MSTC 74 performs impressively even without additional spot mics. It’s quick to deploy, requiring only a single stand and cable, with no adjustments needed to capsule placement or angle.
This 2022 model features updated electronics and a refined design. The XLR-5M output connects seamlessly to accessories like the KS 5 U stereo cable or the AK SU/2U breakout, making it a versatile choice for professionals and a reliable go-to for those less experienced.
