Schoeps MK-2-H
Modular Capsule Omni HF Emphasis

MK-2-H

The MK 2H is an omni modular microphone capsule with mild high frequency emphasis only above 6 kHz, for medium distances. This microphone distinguishes itself from the other Schoeps pressure transducers: the typical grill is absent, and the sound inlet (surrounded by a gold-plated ring) is smaller than that of other types. These special design features lead to a frequency response that rises only above 6 kHz.

This microphone type would be used in the near field only if a slight high-frequency emphasis were desired. It resembles the MK 2S/ CCM 2S, though the high-frequency emphasis of the MK 2H with the CCM 2H is audibly less pronounced and begins around an octave higher. The primary application for this capsule is at a greater distance from the sound source, e.g. near the reverberation radius, when recording a large orchestra. This microphone type is particularly designed for the recording of classical music, a field in which it is highly acclaimed.

• omnidirectional pattern
