Compact MicrophonesThe MK 41 and the CCM 41 are strongly directional. Sound arriving from off axis is attenuated even more than with a cardioid. The pickup is ‘drier’ and less susceptible to acoustic feedback than any other SCHOEPS microphone type, provided that a loudspeaker is not located directly on the rear axis of the microphone.
Its directivity is highly independent of frequency, so that even sounds arriving off axis and reverberant sound are registered without coloration. Consequently, even distant placement of the microphone produces a very natural sound pickup.This is a real advantage over interference-tube “shotgun” microphones, whose directivity is very frequency-dependent ? exceeding that of a supercardioid only at higher frequencies. Interference-tube microphones are notoriously sensitive to their position in a room, where the shifting patterns of reflections cause corresponding shifts in sound color. Thus the MK 41 and CCM 41 are surprisingly effective and space-saving alternatives to shotgun microphones ? and being small, they can often be placed closer to the sound source. (shotgun microphones)
An M/S microphone arrangement can be set up at quite some distance from the sound source if an MK 41 or CCM 41 is used for the “M“ channel.
Compared to the cardioid MK 4/ CCM 4, the supercardioid has slightly more rolloff at the low end due to the gradient effect. Its high-frequency linearity both on- and off-axis also gives it a less brilliant sound than the MK 4/ CCM 4.

Note:
Although our normal production tolerances are very close, we can deliver specially matched capsule or Compact Microphone pairs for a small extra charge.
Microphone Capsule MK 41V
Compact Microphone CCM 41V
- supercardioid pattern maintained particularly well throughout the frequency range
- for lateral pickup
- for universal application
- high directivity, comparable to that of a short “shotgun“ microphone up through midrange frequencies

Compact MicrohonesLike the MK 41 or the CCM 41, the MK 41V and CCM 41V are useful in all situations with music or speech, either as “spot“ microphones or as overall directional microphones. However, this type of microphone is addressed from the side.
It excels particularly in the constancy of its polar response throughout the audio spectrum. As a result, sound within 90o on either side of the main axis is picked up with virtually no alteration of frequency response or tone color. This is strongly evident with sound sources that are in motion, but is also of great benefit in obtaining stable, precise stereo imaging for normal music recordings.
This capsule type is therefore preferred for use as a support microphone as well as in the OCT (“Optimized Cardioid Triangle“) microphone system for surround sound recording introduced by Dr. Theile of the Institute for Radio Technology. (The front left and right channels in that system are picked up by sideways-facing supercardioid microphones; see technical appendix to this catalog.)
The MK 41V may be easier to use in near-coincident setups than the MK 41: the microphone bodies do not get in each other's way. With the MK 41 this can be avoided using GVC “elbows“ or Colette cables
Note:
Though not specifically designed for such use, the MK 41V capsule can also be used on the RC Active Tube or the variable angle joint GVC; when fully tightened it will rarely be aimed where you intend. On request we will supply an elastic ring which can be slipped over the threads of the RC or GVC so that the final turn of the capsule will place it at the desired angle of rotation.
