MK 4VXP

Common name: Schoeps MK 4VXP

Production Status: In production

The MK 4VXP is a small diaphragm side-addressed cardioid capsule for the Colette system. This cardioid capsule is designed for very close speech pickup, under 10 cm, from the speaker’s mouth. Its low-frequency roll-off (-10 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. The polar response is identical to that of the MK 4V capsule. Specifications shown refer to the capsule used in combination with the CMC6 xt preamplifier.
