Topic: CMC6 cap compatibility

[Shawn]

and yes.... all of the same caps as well as the active accessories that work with the cmc6 will work with m22/nt222 setup.

OK...so here's the next step. How about the MK41V > m222 > NT 222   stuff?

Love the sound of the M222/NT222.  Not sure the MK41Vs are worth the extra cost over the MK41s.

Seems like a lot of questions without much discussion about your situation, goals, etc.  What's your budget?  How much stuff are you willing / able to schlep around?  What do you plan on recording (e.g. amplified rock, unamplified bluegrass, unamplified strings, etc.), in what environments (bars, amphitheatres, performance halls?), from what positions (on-stage, up front, tapers section, studio), and in what general configurations (2-ch, 4-ch, multitrack, etc.)?  What general "sound" do you like?  Are these replacements for the KM140s / U89s / 4022s in your sig, or additions to the stable?

Lots of people make good recordings with Schoeps (or insert X brand here) gear.  Lots of people make poor recordings with Schoeps (or insert X brand here) gear.  The question is:  what's going to be best for your particular situation, budget, goals, etc.

The Schoeps MK 41 has a directional pattern that is somewhere between being supercardioid and hypercardioid. When the MK 41 design was introduced...

Really enjoy the wealth of knowledge and history you bring to threads - thanks for posting!

Don't forget the humor either.

Actually just familiarizing myself with the Planet Schoeps. I picked up a sequentially numbered, mint matched set of MK4/CMC6's this past weekend to add to the arsenal.

   I was curious of what was compatible ie: actives, caps, mounts, etc.   I definitely want a set of super cardoid caps...love the 41 sound.
