Schoeps mk//ccm and very loud sources

huub · 16th November 2009

Hi all, I'm recording a friends band tonight, and my usual in front of kick drum (km140 with pad) is not available, so i'll probably use one of our schoeps modular mics with cardiod capsule . also i'll try the omni for the between kik and snare compressed to smithereens mic (yeah, it's decadent I know)

what's your experience with these mics and loud sources? It has no pad wich scares me a little..

thanks!

Well, recording right now, the schoeps are doing more than fine!

What combo are you using of Schoeps? I did not think they could handle a kick drum but their max SPL is pretty high.

To be honest I do not know the number, but I used the cardioid in front of the kickdrum, really nice.. the omni capsule as trash mic did not work so well, i used an old electrovoice RE50 omni dynamic into distressor for that..

Hi Huub,

I have seen colleagues use an MK2 very succesfully inside of a bassdrum, though you have to like that kind of sound.

For overheads I used the MK2H myself and was happy with the results.

In general the Schoeps can handle very high sound pressures really well, I wouldn't expect any problems with drum kits.

Groetjes,
Dirk

Oh, i used the fixed ortf with cardioid capsules for overheads, beauuuutiful!

Thanks for the info. I am filing it away.

according to the official specs on the Schoeps website, the ccm4 has the exact same max SPL and noise figures as the mk4/cmc6 cap/body combo.

I always thought I was making the right trade off but I'm actually happier
