Schoeps MK 41 Supercardioid Microphone Capsule, Nickel

With the Schoeps MK 41 Nickel Supercardioid Microphone Capsule, experience superior audio recording quality that is both professional and reliable. This high-quality microphone capsule is designed with a strong directional focus, attenuating off-axis sounds more effectively than a standard cardioid microphone. This innovative feature ensures a "drier" pickup, making it less susceptible to acoustic feedback, a common issue with other microphone types.The MK 41's directivity remains consistent across all frequencies, capturing off-axis and reverberant sounds without any coloration. This results in a natural sound pickup, even when the microphone capsule is placed at a distance from the sound source. This is a significant advantage over interference-tube "shotgun" microphones, which often exhibit frequency-dependent directivity and are sensitive to their position in a room.The MK 41 Supercardioid Microphone Capsule stands out as a space-saving alternative to shotgun microphones. Its compact size allows for closer placement to the sound source, enhancing the quality of the audio capture. When used for the "M" channel in an M/S microphone arrangement, the MK 41 can be set up at a considerable distance from the sound source.Compared to the cardioid MK 4, the MK 41 offers a slightly more pronounced rolloff at the low end due to the gradient effect. However, its diffuse field response elevation is less than that of the MK 4. With a frequency range of 40Hz to 20kHz, a sensitivity of 14mV/Pa, and a signal-to-noise ratio of 79dB-A, the MK 41 Supercardioid Microphone Capsule delivers durable and reliable performance for all your audio recording needs.
