Schoeps CMC 1 UG Miniature Colette Microphone Amplifier, Matte Gray

The compact, lightweight CMC 1 microphone amplifier offers a powerful alternative to the venerable CMC 6 in applications where weight and size are a deciding factor. At one-third the size of its larger sibling, the CMC 1 is compatible with all Colette system components (sold separately) for easy integration into existing setups. Despite its diminutive stature, the CMC 1 boasts impressive features, including a high maximum sound pressure level (SPL) of 135 dB with minimal distortion, low current consumption, and the ability to operate on 48V or 12V phantom power. It offers excellent RF interference protection, flat frequency response, low distortion, and balanced output, making it ideal for professional audio environments.

Schoeps CMC 1 UG Features

• Complete alternative to the renowned CMC 6
• Fully compatible with all existing MK capsules and Colette active accessories such as the CUT 60 and RC tubes
• 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
