Schoeps CCM 2 Omni Miniature Condenser Microphones

Since the transducers of the Colette and CCM series are the same, only a short description of the properties is given at this point. More detailed information on the transducers can be found in the descriptions of the corresponding MK capsules. The Schoeps CCM 2 is one of the CCM series.

Omnidirectional microphones can be considered sonically optimal if realized as true single-diaphragm systems – which is what we at SCHOEPS do. Their strengths include exceptionally linear frequency response with extended low-frequency response and a low noise floor (in the case of SCHOEPS – even as low as 11dB(A)). The various types of omni capsules differ in the amount of high-frequency boost, which compensates for the high-frequency roll-off in the diffuse field. Thus, omnidirectional microphones can be free- or diffuse-field equalised. We offer a free-field and a diffuse-field version along with two others, which lie in between.

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.

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.”

Features:

• Omnidirectional
• Linear frequency response
• Corrected for the direct sound field
• For use close to the sound source (frontal sound incidence)
• Preferred applications: close pickup of singers and instruments
