Schoeps CMC-6U
12V or 48V Phantom Powered Mod Amp

CMC-6U

The CMC 6U modular microphone amplifier offers 12V or 48V, balanced output, and maximum RF rejection. The chief task of a CMC microphone amplifier is to convert the extremely high-impedance signal from the capsule to a very low-impedance one suitable for transmission through a microphone cable. It features a symmetrical Class A output stage with neither coupling condensers nor an output transformer. This design helps it to achieve extremely low distortion and light physical weight, while it's very low output impedance helps make it insensitive to electrical interference.

If a recording device has balanced inputs but lacks phantom powering, it may be possible to add 12 Volt powering rather easily by using a supply voltage that is already present internally. In most cases 48 Volts would need to be generated with a voltage multiplier circuit, which is more difficult to implement. That is why the CMC 6, which works with both 12 V and 48 V phantom powering, is the optimal choice.

Features:

• Balanced, very low-impedance output
• Can be used with very long cables (several hundred meters)
• Can be used with Active Accessories for miniaturization and special applications

Specifications:

• Powering: 12V/48V phantom
• Current Consumption: 12V: 8mA; 48V: 4mA
• Impedance: 12V: 25 Ohms; 48V: 35 Ohms
• Low-cut frequency (-3 dB): 20 Hz
• Max output voltage: 1 V (at 1 kHz and 1 kOhm loadresistance)
• Min recommended load impedance: 600 Ohms (If a lower load impedance isused, the main effect
  will be toreduce the maximum output level of the microphone.)
