The MK 4VP is a small diaphragm side-addressed cardioid capsule for the Colette system. This cardioid capsule is designed for very close speech pickup, under 20 cm, from the speaker’s mouth. Its low-frequency roll-off (-6 dB at 100 Hz) is compensated by proximity effect. Thus it has (up to the point of its high-frequency emphasis) a flat frequency response for the speaker’s voice, while showing a roll-off at low frequencies for all sound that originates from a greater distance. As a result, background sounds are picked up less strongly than the person speaking. Specifications shown refer to the capsule used in combination with the CMC6 xt preamplifier.
