CMC 1 L Microphone Amplifier

CMC 1 L Microphone AmplifierThe CMC 1 is Schoeps new, small Colette microphone amplifier, about one third the length and 53% lighter than the CMC 6. It is compatible with all components of the Colette system and can be used in place of the CMC 6 without compromise, for all applications in which the size and weight of the microphone play a role. At SCHOEPS, uncompromising miniaturization means that the electrical characteristics of the CMC 1 are equal to, or even better than,

The CMC 1 is Schoeps’ new, small Colette microphone amplifier, about one-third the length and 53% lighter than the CMC 6. It is compatible with all components of the Colette system and can be used in place of the CMC 6 without compromise, for all applications in which the size and weight of the microphone play a role. 
At SCHOEPS, “uncompromising miniaturization” means that the electrical characteristics of the CMC 1 are equal to, or even better than, those of the CMC 6. Through modern electronic design, these outstanding electrical properties have been achieved: 
• high maximum SPL: 135 dB-SPL with the MK 4 (0.5% THD or less) 
• very low current consumption: 2.0 mA at 48 Volts 
• operates on 48 V or 12 V phantom power, reliable operation even if powering is somewhat marginal 
• very high immunity from RF interference with the SCHOEPS RFI Shield; high immunity to cable-induced hum and other interference (field tested with Audio Limited A 10, etc.) 
• flat frequency response 
• very low distortion 
• constant output impedance across the audio frequency range 
• balanced, direct-coupled, class-A output circuit 
• output is filtered in the ultrasonic range to prevent interference, e.g. from camera autofocus 
A complete Colette-series microphone consists of an MK capsule and a CMC amplifer. All capsules and active accessories of the Colette system are compatible with the CMC 1. 
The CMC 1 works with standard 12-Volt or 48-Volt phantom powering. Power consumption is lower at 12 Volts--an advantage for battery-powered operation.
