Product description

• CCM4 LG Cardioid Compact Microphone The Schoeps CCM4 is a miniature cardioid microphone featuring a detachable cable and designed for use on singing and speaking voices as well as a wide variety of instruments. It can be used as a spot microphone or for stereo recording with additional mics in coincident, ORTF, or M/S microphone arrangements.The CCM 4 offers a flat frequency response, optimal rejection of rear-incident sound, and a directional pattern that remains constant throughout the audio frequency range. This mic is free of coloration whether the sound is arriving at the front, the sides, or from all around the mic at once.
  • Classic cardioid
  • Suitable for the widest range of applications, either as a spot microphone or for stereo recording with additional mics in coincident, ORTF, or M/S microphone arrangements
  • Consistent directionality throughout its frequency range
  • Preferred for singing or speaking voices and most instruments
• CCM8 LG Compact Figure-Eight Microphone The Schoeps CCM8 LG is a miniature figure-eight microphone with a detachable cable. The figure-eight pattern design provides a bidirectional pickup that is almost completely identical at all frequencies. The figure-eight pattern is also useful in M/S stereo capturing. The K 5 LU adapter cable and an SGC miniature stand mount with swivel is also included.
  Figure-Eight Polar Pattern
  • The capsule is a pure pressure-gradient transducer with a figure-8 pattern. The bi-directional pattern is almost completely identical at all frequencies.
  Detachable K 5 LU Cable
  • This version of the CCM8 features a detachable 3-Pin LEMO connector allowing easier microphone interchanging and placement.
  Off-Axis High Frequency Rejection
  • The CCM8 provides exceptional high-frequency rejection at the off-axis sections of the capsule.
  Wide Linear Frequency Response
  • The wide frequency response ensures accurate detail regardless of the source signal.
• Stereo Cyclone DMS Kit 1 Windshield System for Schoeps CCM 4 Pair & CCM 8 The Rycote Stereo Cyclone DMS Kit 1 is a windshield system offering acoustically transparent protection for location sound mixers and recordists using a pair of Schoeps CCM 4 microphones and a single CCM 8 in a double mid-side array in broadcast TV, film, video, and game audio production. It features an enhanced Connbox design with no straight or parallel surfaces to reduce room tone and resonance. Its Lyre mic suspension and Floating Basket Suspension improve vibration isolation and minimize handling noise.
  
  The 3D-Tex material delivers significant attenuation of wind noise while being easy to clean. Further contributing to the system's low maintenance is the magnetic locking design, which allows one-handed opening and closure. The three LEMO inputs match the connectivity of your Schoeps CCM microphones, and the XLR 7-pin output contributes to effective cable management. Boompole compatibility is offered via a brass 3/8" UNC female thread.
  Built by Hand
  • Each Stereo Cyclone windshield is individually hand-built in the Rycote factory in Stroud. This very specialized manufacturing process is carried out by a highly skilled Rycote technician and takes many hours to complete.
  Enhanced Connbox Design
  • Designed specifically for internal cable routing, isolation, and vibration reduction, each Connbox has been optimized for specific stereo and multichannel microphone configurations. Every wire and connector has been precisely measured to offer maximum performance.
  Lyre and Floating Basket Suspension
  • Rycote uses its industry-leading Lyre microphone suspension to reduce the bulk of shock and handling noise. The Stereo Cyclone also features the Rycote Floating Basket Suspension: an innovative design that prevents natural resonances and vibrations from bypassing the main suspension and radiating from the structure of the basket itself.
    
    The Lyre principle is incorporated into the portions of the suspension that connect directly to the basket; the entire structure "floats," isolating problematic internal vibrations originating from boompoles and other sources.
    
    Stereo configurations are particularly susceptible to the effects of acoustic re-radiation, since more microphones point at the overall surface of the basket. The incorporation of the Floating Basket Suspension results in a windshield with superb vibration isolation.
  Acoustically Transparent Wind Protection
  • An open-cell structure consisting of curved contours and no straight or parallel surfaces greatly reduces room-tone effects inherent in conventional tubular windshield designs. The physical design shifts the overall bulk to the basket front. The aerodynamically efficient asymmetric basket covered with 3D-Tex material provides enormous benefits in terms of surface turbulence and acoustic impedance, resulting in wind-noise reduction comparable to the combined modular-style windshield/fur cover performance. In truly extreme weather conditions, a Cyclone Windjammer (available separately) can be used to deliver superior wind-noise reduction.
  Easy Removal and Attachment
  • The windshield can be removed from or attached to the suspension in an instant using just one hand, allowing audio professionals to capture the best possible audio at any moment in any environment. This is the unique benefit of Rycote's Z-Locking System. Reassembly is automatic as components magnetically snap into perfect alignment.
  Low Maintenance
  • Location sound mixers require equipment that will not only withstand extreme conditions, but also maintain consistent performance. Maintenance is often a time-consuming yet necessary evil. The Stereo Cyclone's 3D-Tex was developed for both outstanding performance and ease of maintenance. Dust it off after mild use or rinse and air dry after heavy use to maintain outstanding, transparent, and consistent performance for years of faithful use.
• 16.4' XLR-7 Multicore Extension Cable The 16.4' (5.0m) KDMS 5U XLR-7 Multicore Extension Cable from Schoeps is for three balanced signals and is used as an extension cable especially for double M/S.
• AK DMS 3U Adapter Cable The AK DMS 3U Adapter Cable from Schoeps is used with the Schoeps "Surround Sets" for the Double M/S system. An XLR-7M output connector carries the signals from all three microphones (front mid, figure-8 and rear mid); the AK DMS 3U then splits the three signals out again.
