The Schoeps Desert Island Set MK 2S is a versatile, high-quality microphone kit designed for stereo recording, featuring two CMC 1U miniature Colette preamps, two MK 2S omnidirectional matched capsules, and two SG20 stand clamps, all stored in a Peli hard case for enhanced portability and protection.

Schoeps MK 2S Microphone Capsules

The Schoeps MK 2S capsules are designed to provide a slight high-frequency rise above 4 kHz, compensating for high-frequency losses in diffuse field environments. These capsules excel in maintaining a balanced and natural sound, particularly when used in reverberant spaces or at moderate recording distances. Compared to the MK 2 and MK 2H, the MK 2S offers a slightly brighter sound, making it ideal for stereo arrays such as A/B or Decca Tree configurations. It is especially effective in larger rooms, where the frequency response remains consistent across the sound field. The set includes a hand-signed certificate from the factory, ensuring precise matching of frequency response and sensitivity to within exceptionally low tolerances. These capsules feature an omnidirectional pattern, making them highly versatile for a wide range of recording applications.

Schoeps CMC 1U Miniature Colette Microphone Amplifier

The CMC 1U miniature amplifier, an ultracompact alternative to the CMC 6, offers exceptional fidelity in a lightweight and portable form factor, making it ideal for studio, broadcast, and live stage use. With a length of just 1.4 inches and weighing only 1.3 ounces, it maintains the electrical characteristics of the CMC 6 while being 40% lighter and a third smaller. The CMC 1U features an XLR output, ensuring compatibility with both 12V and 48V phantom power sources, and its low current consumption ensures efficient operation. High immunity from RF interference is guaranteed by the Schoeps RFI Shield, allowing for a clean, low-noise signal, even in environments prone to interference. The amplifier supports the high maximum SPLs of various MK capsules, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. Additionally, it comes with a mic clip for easy attachment to a stand, with suspension mounts such as the Rycote INV-6 available separately.

Schoeps SG20 Microphone Stand Clamp

The Schoeps SG20 microphone stand clamp is engineered for mounting microphones with a 20mm or 21mm diameter. The clamp's robust metal housing and durable plastic design ensure long-lasting use, and its base is threaded for 5/8"-27 stands, with an included adapter to accommodate 3/8" and 1/2" mounting. The continuously variable angle adjustment allows precise positioning of the microphones, offering flexibility in capturing optimal sound from different angles.

Portable and Rugged Design

The Schoeps Desert Island Set MK 2S is designed with portability in mind, packaged in a Peli hard case to ensure all components are safely stored and protected during transport. This compact and durable case makes the kit an ideal choice for field recording, offering professional-grade equipment that can withstand harsh environments while delivering superior audio quality.

This set is an excellent choice for audio professionals looking to capture accurate, high-quality stereo sound in both studio and field settings, providing unmatched reliability and versatility for a wide range of recording scenarios.
