FEATURES:

• Subcardioid (wide cardioid) with high-frequency emphasis
• Directional pattern only slightly dependent on frequency
• Slightly brilliant sound image

The MK 21 H/CCM 21 H is an outgrowth of our field experience with the MK 21/CCM 21, and embodies suggestions made by various pop musicians who wished certain instruments such as percussion, acoustic guitar and also vocals to be reproduced with a touch of additional brightness.

The frequency response of the MK 21 H/CCM 21 H rises at high frequencies, reaching +4 dB at 7 kHz. Unlike most other condenser microphones, it does not then roll off, but stays up even at very high frequencies.

As with our MK 21/CCM 21 the frequency response of this model is exceptionally independent of the direction of sound incidence.

The MK 21 H/CCM 21 H, at 10 mV/Pa, is slightly less sensitive than most SCHOEPS capsules. Thus it has a somewhat reduced signal-to-noise ratio but is tolerant of even higher sound pressure levels.
