Schoeps Mono Set MK 41 - CMC 1 U

First of all a big thank you to Thomann Music for shipping the product quickly and arriving faster than expected. Ordered from Germany to Philadelphia and don't know how it got here in 3 days. And the price is a big plus. Now to the Schoeps.

This is my first Schoeps microphone and I'm amazed at the quality of sound and craftsmanship. I own a Sennheiser MKH 50 and a MKH416 and I love those mics. I wanted to invest in a Schoeps mic and I don't regret my purchase at all. This microphone sounds very natural, smooth, sweet and "dry" in a very pleasant way. I focus mostly on dialogue for the films I produce and this is an excellent addition. It picks up the voice really well and it has a pleasant mid tone for dialogue. It has the signature sound of many films we have seen.

The 50, 416 and CMC141 all have different "sounds" and they don't sound the same which is why I bought this Schoeps. Overall I'm happy with the purchase and quality of this mic and I recommend it, no questions asked. Now I understand why it's so loved by sound mixers.

I'm running mines through a Sound Devices 788T recorder and it makes the Schoeps (and my Sennheisers) shine. This is a microphone you want to put it through a high end recorder or mixer. Im convinced (my opinion) something like a Zoom recorder is not going to do justice to this mic due to its thin sound on the low end and harshness on the highs and this is coming from someone who's used Zoom all his life until I made the jump to Sound Devices. This mic is pro level and you want a pro level preamp that's going to give you pro results.

Buy it and happy recording to all!

Zu diesem "State of the Art" Produkt muss man nicht viel sagen. Es macht genau das was es soll und das so zuverlässig wie gewünscht. Ich habe das Mikrofon immer am Filmset dabei, ebenfalls setze ich es auch gerne an einer Tom oder über einer Violine ein. Der Preis ist "Preiswert" wenn man professionell arbeitet und ein Produkt haben will, was man die nächsten 15 bis 20 Jahre einsetzt. P.S: Das Ding ist verdammt kurz, dank daran wenn ihr das entsprechende Zubehör kauft!
