Common name: Schoeps CMC 66 U

Production Status: In production

The CMC 66 U is a small diaphragm multi-pattern condenser microphone. It is mechanically switched between omnidirectional, cardioid and figure of eight polar patterns. The microphone amplifier CMC 6 U and the capsule MK 6 form part of a modular microphone which permits the insertion of RC tubes or KC cables as well as other electronically active accessories between capsule and amplifier allowing for miniaturisation. The CMC 6U Amplifier offers a symmetrical, transformer-less, direct-coupled Class A output stage with low impedance, distortion, and interference. It is designed for standard 48 and 12 V phantom powering. Its circuitry recognises the supply voltage and adjusts itself automatically. Includes wooden box, SG 20 stand mount clamp and B 5 D windscreen.
