new Schoeps CMC 1 amplifier for the Colette series

(1/9) > >>

DSatz:
Hi. Schoeps has just announced a new, miniaturized amplifier for the Colette series, the CMC 1. It works with all capsules and accessories of the Colette series, has all the same specifications as (or in a few details, slightly better than) the existing CMC 6 amplifier, but weighs only 1.3 ounces and is 1-1/2 inches long. It will be available starting October 1.

The U.S. price hasn't been set yet to my knowledge, but it should be in the general neighborhood of what a CMC 6 costs.

The CMC 6 will continue to be available and fully supported.

--best regards

heathen:
I can imagine people here who currently use the CMC6 might want to switch to the CMC1 for a more compact overall package, but I wonder if anyone around here who currently doesn't run a Schoeps body will be enticed to run the CMC1 because it's so much smaller than the CMC6.  Anyone?

jerryfreak:
interesting. kind of reminds me of the DPA "MMP-C" compact series, which is cheaper and slightly reduced spec to their full "A" and "B" bodies.

One of the best advantages of these smaller bodies is they allow for a reduced shock mount rig, esp with stubby mini starquad cables

at full CMC spec this is cool tho ( at 1.8V it actually has considerably higher output voltage than a 1.0V cmc6 or 0.6-0.9V CMR, it also offers 4 dB higher max spl)

crunchy:
They said $849 on their Instagram post.

jerryfreak:
$50 over a CMC6, not awful but a tough sell considering the tons of good used CMC6s on the market all the time (many are even the newer RFI shielded models)
