Schoeps MK 22

Open Cardioid Microphone Capsule

Description

Schoeps MK 22

The “Open Cardioid” pickup pattern was introduced by SCHOEPS in 2008. It lies between the classic cardioid and the wide cardioid, achieving both a fair amount of directivity and very natural sound quality. Many years of experience as professional recording engineers with a range of Schoeps cardioids have played a large role in the development process. Meanwhile, the Schoeps MK 22 has become a preferred soloist and spot microphone, thus becoming an alternative to the “classic” MK 4.

FEATURES

  • New directional pattern: Open Cardioid
  • Optimal combination of directionality (MK 4 cardioid) and warm sound characteristics (MK 21 wide cardioid)
  • Natural sound quality, due to a highly consistent polar diagram across the frequency range
  • Popular for use as a spot or soloist’s microphone, as the mid microphone for M/S, or as a main microphone pair e.g. at a spacing of 21 cm, angle +/- 55°
