  • Schoeps MK 2H Omni Capsule for Mid-Distance, ideal for A/B stereophony and Decca Tree.
  • Mild high-frequency response elevation at 0 degrees, which compensates for high-frequency losses caused by a slightly increased diffuse field amount at medium recording distance.
  • The gold-plated ring reduces the size of the acoustic opening of the MK 2H.
  • This results in an acoustic elevation above 6 kHz.
  • The MK 2H is a capsule often described as balanced and round, together with the KA 40 sphere accessory, it forms a classic Decca Tree capsule.

Schoeps MK 2H Omni Capsule for Mid-Distance


Overview

When the MK 2H microphone capsule is used indoors at medium recording distances (where direct sound energy is similar in amount to reflected sound energy) its overall response will be linear. And with an extended frequency response and low noise, the MK 2H is a perfect choice for even the most demanding recording applications.

The sound inlet of the MK 2H is narrower than that of other Schoeps pressure transducers, causing an ever so slight, purely acoustic response elevation about 6kHz. Thus, reducing the high frequency loss for diffuse sound, thus helping to preserve natural sound quality.

 

Best Practice

The MK 2H much like the MK 2S is ideal for natural-sounding pickup of instruments and orchestras within spaces that have a well-balanced reverberation qualities. The choice between the two capsule types is essentially a matter of personal preference.
