Schoeps MK 4
Cardioid Mic Capsule
The MK4, the best-selling capsule of Schoeps, offers the highest sound quality, flat frequency response, optimal rejection of rear-incident sound, and a directional pattern that remains constant throughout the audio frequency range. In the diffuse sound field it shows only a mild rise around 10kHz; the sonic impression is thus free of coloration whether sound is arriving at the front or at the sides of the microphone, as well as for diffuse sound (reverberation) in a room. The MK4 is a classic cardioid suitable for the widest range of applications, either as a spot microphone or for stereo recording with coincident, ORTF or M/S microphone arrangements. It provides consistent directionality throughout its frequency range and it is often preferred for singing or speaking voices and most instruments.
