The Schoeps MK 2 is a stereo pair of matched omnidirectional capsules, carefully crafted for capturing sound with an incredibly even frequency response, making it ideal for close, frontal microphone placement.

The Schoeps MK 2 delivers a linear frequency response at a 0° angle (equivalent to free-field equalization). It is perfect when positioning it near the sound source, especially for close-miking musical instruments.

The unique virtue of the Schoeps MK2 lies in its ability to reproduce sound waves that approach it from the front with exceptional fidelity. This characteristic produces a remarkably natural sound when recording near the sound source. It can be placed close without introducing excessive brilliance or harshness to the audio.

Moreover, the Schoeps MK 2 has earned a strong reputation for its application in acoustical measurements, where precision and accuracy are paramount.

For those who require calibration with B&K devices, a mechanical adapter (specifically the AMBK 1, compatible with diameters ranging from 20 mm to 1") is available. It's important to note that this adapter is exclusively usable with the nickel-finished version of the MK 2 owing to dimensional tolerances.
