Bodies: CMC6 $615/ea

Caps: MK4 $555/ea
        MK41 $725/ea
        MK4v $912/ea

KC5 Actives $430/ea

STCG ORTF Bar $115

A20 shockmount $86/ea

making best tapes for the masses:   priceless


ps. u can do what i did, and not get the CMC6 bodies at all, and put that money towards the schoeps VMS5u preamp, since youll want a nice preamp anyway. then u also save a few more huindred on getting the KCY cable instead of the 2 kc5's.

Just wanted to bump this, as I'm getting my MK6 pair Friday and was looking for pics of Schoeps v setups.

Excellent pics. Big +T to dr.ph0b...

been running the 4vs on the DIN bar.  its 90* no matter what!
And yes ORTF bar with 4vs=70*

[JasonR]

Actually, depending on how you twist the caps on the bar and position it, you can properly create any angle between 0 and 70 with the ORTF bar, and 0-90 with the DIN or DINa bars.  70 and 90 (and zero degrees, but that's a whole lot of useless) are easy while the angles in the middle would take a good deal of eyeballing.

the tubular one is just "WB". the ball screen i have on the 2 vertical caps side-by-side, is actually sold as a m/s windscreen and is calld the "WMS"

I would really love the WB.  Wish someone would sell one

Posthorn does'nt sell them any more?

I am looking for the mic holder not the windscreen.  I thought schoeps stopped making it?

[Nick Graham]

FWIW I picked up both the WB and WMS screens pictured on page 1 of this thread from Posthorn.

Jerry Bruck's definitely one of the nicest guys I've had the pleasure of doing business with...

They did, but the WB is the windscreen.

Just curious, if you were to use the same setup as pictured below, but with Figure 8s, would that be an effective method for running Blumleiin? Do the mics have to be vertically on top of one another?

from what i've been told, they must be mounted on top of each other.
do you have a pair of mk8's or a single?  jsut curious, as i have a single.

I would think so. Seems like one of the caps would be in the way of the other if they were side by side.

[RebelRebel]

they dont have to be on top of each other ...one can be across the other and acheive the same result.

Teddy -  if you don't mind, what is your source for this recommendation?

Multiple Sources. Jerry Bruck being the first, and confirmed by a friend at schoeps, and also by Mr. Rich Mays, an engineer /location recording engineer, David Satz is another..... Sometimes There "can" be phasing issues, milliseconds of delay with side by side placement, and isnt like Mr Blumlein intended it, but in the absence of a mounting option to run head to head, it can be done that way(most people may say it isnt ideal, but necessity is the mother of invention). I asked twice, once back when I had u89s and didnt have a vert bar to accomodate the two LD mics, and the other day , when Nick bumped this....directional patterns are three-dimensional .
