Schoeps V4 U Studio Vocal Mic (SGV Grey)


Overview

The Schoeps V4 U studio vocal microphone delivers outstanding technical characteristics that is typical of all Schoeps timeless, classic designs. The aesthetic of the V4 U is based on the Schoeps CM 51/3 from 1951, but the V4 U is a thoroughly modern studio microphone. its capsule, circuitry and mechanical construction are the result of extensive new product development and research.

 

The Capsule

  • A 33-mm bevelled collar causes the capsule’s directivity to increase steadily and smoothly at the high frequencies. Much like in large-diaphragm microphones.
  • Extraordinarily smooth frequency and polar response are maintained thanks to the small-diaphragm capsule.
  • The capsule is elastically suspended internally to reduce solid-borne sound such as handling noise.

 

The Electronics

  • 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.
