The Schoeps Desert Island Set MK 22 is a high-performance microphone kit designed for precise stereo recording, featuring two CMC 1U miniature Colette microphone amplifiers, two MK 22 open-cardioid capsules, and two SG20 microphone stand adapters, all housed in a robust Peli hard case for portability and protection.

Key Components of the Set

The set includes two CMC 1U microphone amplifiers, each providing exceptional audio fidelity in an ultra-compact form. These miniature amplifiers are specifically designed for studio, broadcast, and live applications, offering compatibility with all Schoeps Colette Series capsules. The CMC 1U is a streamlined alternative to the CMC 6, delivering the same outstanding audio performance but in a more lightweight, portable design. It operates with 12V or 48V phantom power, ensuring high versatility, and has a balanced XLR output for seamless integration into various audio systems. The amplifier’s internal RFI Shield significantly reduces the risk of radio frequency interference, delivering a pristine, low-noise signal even in challenging environments.

The MK 22 capsules included in the kit are open-cardioid, offering a balanced combination of the directionality typical of a cardioid pattern and the broad sound characteristic of a wide cardioid. This design makes the MK 22 an ideal choice for applications requiring a high level of sonic transparency, such as spot miking for solo instruments or voiceovers. The capsules have a frequency response that maintains consistency across the entire range, ensuring a natural and accurate sound. They are especially effective in capturing sound from a specific source while effectively suppressing unwanted rear-incidents, making them highly suitable for field recording and stereo pair use.

Performance of the MK 22 Capsule

The MK 22 microphone capsules excel in providing a rich, warm sound with a directional pattern that is largely constant across frequencies. With a response suppression of 16 dB from the rear, these capsules are particularly adept at reducing unwanted ambient noise, ensuring that the recorded sound remains focused and detailed. The capsules feature a unique blend of characteristics found in both the MK 4 and MK 21 microphones, with the directivity of the MK 4 and the sonic warmth of the MK 22. This makes the MK 22 capsule versatile, suitable for a variety of recording contexts, from solo instruments to ensemble recordings. The capsules come as a matched pair, ensuring consistency in frequency response and sensitivity, with very tight tolerances for professional-level precision.

Schoeps SG20 Microphone Stand Clamp

The SG20 microphone stand clamp is designed to securely mount microphones with diameters of 20mm or 21mm. Its sturdy metal housing and durable plastic clamp provide a solid and reliable support system for the microphones. The clamp is threaded to fit standard 5/8"-27 stands, and it includes an adapter for 3/8" and 1/2" mounting threads, offering additional flexibility for different stand configurations. The SG20's adjustable angle allows for precise microphone placement, ensuring optimal positioning for any recording setup.
