AT A GLANCE

Studio Vocal Microphone
New small-diaphragm capsule architecture, with bevelled collar for controlling the polar response.
Warm, clear sonic character with smoothly rolled-off diffuse-field response.
Capsule head with adjustable tilt angle.
Optimal on-axis frequency response featuring a mild high-frequency lift.
Very smooth polar response; carefully controlled narrowing of the pattern at high frequencies.
Diffuse-field response parallel to the 0 ° response, with a gentle roll-off at high frequencies.
Newly designed electronics offer a very high maximum sound pressure level.
A 33-mm bevelled collar causes the capsule’s directivity to increase steadily and smoothly at high frequencies, as in a large-diaphragm microphone.
Meanwhile, the superior acoustic qualities of a small-diaphragm capsule like the extraordinarily smooth frequency and polar response are maintained.
The capsule is elastically suspended internally to reduce solid-borne sound such as handling noise.
Newly-developed bridge-type balanced output circuit.
Maximum sound pressure level of 144 dB SPL, corresponding to an output level of 4.8 V.
Output stage transformerless and free of coupling capacitors.
The resulting output impedance is low and constant with frequency, while the symmetry is very high.
Symmetrical, balanced output, the entire audio circuit is symmetrical from the output of the FET onward.
High immunity to interference, with gapless shielding and a modern RFI filter at the output; very good electromagnetic compatibility.

The Schoeps V4 U is a studio vocal microphone using brand new small diaphragm architecture.

The Schoeps V4 U combines the uncompromising technical characteristics associated with the German manufacturer with a beautiful and timeless design inspired by Schoeps's original CM51/3 vintage microphone dating back to 1951. However, the V4 U is resolutely a modern microphone using the latest in technology as well as extensive research and development.

A brand new capsule has been developed to ensure outstanding technical performance but also to achieve Schoeps uncompromising vision of how a studio vocal microphone should sound like. After extensive research Schoeps has decided to use a small-diaphragm capsule delivering transparency of sound and homogeneity of response curves thanks to a unique bevelled ring around the membrane, increasing the effective diameter of the microphone, and controlling the polar response of the microphone.

The result is a microphone with warm yet clear sounds with a slight 2dB lift in the high mid frequencies between approximately 2k Hz and 15k Hz. The Polar pattern is very smooth and controlled helping keep the focus on the on-axis signal. Off-axis, the Schoeps exhibits a gentle rolled off diffuse-field response starting from 6 kHz.

This beautiful and unique microphone delivers outstanding performance with extremely low signal to noise ratio and very high SPL.
