Supercardioid for Close Pickup
超単一指向
Microphone Capsule MK 41S
Compact Microphone CCM 41S
- for pickup of speech or music at close range (under 50 cm), otherwise the sound may become “thin“
- supercardioid directional pattern which is highly uniform throughout the frequency range
- considerable attenuation of low frequencies
- excellent suppression of ambient noise

In its frequency response and in the range of its applications this microphone type resembles the MK 4S or CCM 4S, but due to its greater directivity it attenuates reverberant sound further, and it is less prone to feedback.
The rolloff of its low-frequency response is offset by proximity effect at close working distances.
Please note:
This microphone type is a pressure-gradient transducer with a distinct bass rolloff, designed exclusively for the intelligible pickup of speech at close range in acoustically unfavorable conditions where proximity effect is inherent in the situation. Thus it is not normally suitable for music, and speech pickup at greater distance would sound thin and bright.If the user is faced with such problems only occasionally, this type of microphone may not be the most practical choice since it is intended to be used for very close miking, especially of speech. Instead, the standard version of the cardioid (MK 41 or CCM 41) can be used in combination with a variable filter (CUT or LC for MK 41, LC for CCM 41) which attenuates the low frequencies electrically. The CUT allows the amount of low-frequency attenuation to be tailored to the specific voice, its working distance and the locale. Of course the low frequencies could also be reduced at the preamp or console, but the CUT reduces the danger of overloading their inputs due to pop or wind noise. The MK 41 or CCM 41 ? without the low-cut ? can then be used for recording music or more distant dialogue on a different occasion.
Surface finish : matte gray (g) or nickel (ni)
Note:
Although our normal production tolerances are very close, we can deliver specially matched capsule or Compact Microphone pairs for a small extra charge.
