Schoeps Colette MK 22 Open Cardioid Microphone Capsule
The Schoeps Colette MK 22 Open Cardioid Microphone Capsule has become a preferred soloist and spot microphone, thus becoming an alternative to the “classic” MK 4. “Open Cardioid” pickup pattern lies between the classic cardioid and the wide cardioid, achieving both a fair amount of directivity and very natural sound quality.
Features
- New directional pattern: Open Cardioid
- Optimal combination of directionality (MK 4 cardioid) and warm sound characteristics (MK 21 wide cardioid)
- Natural sound quality, due to highly consistent polar diagram across the frequency range
- Popular for use as a spot or soloist’s microphone, as the mid microphone for M/S, or as a main microphone pair e.g. at a spacing of 21 cm, angle +/- 55°
