How do you pronounce Schoeps model names?
« on: November 05, 2011, 05:41:39 PM »
Kind of a dumb question I guess, but it has been bothering me of late.

Normally, with something prefaced with "MK" I think of that as being short for "Mark".  Meaning Schoeps MK4 would be "Schoeps Mark 4's"

But I believe MK in the Schoeps names is actually an acronym, so it may not be accurate to call them "Mark".

What convention do most people use?

individual letters; on the assumption that it's an acronym or abbreviation.

Schoeps introduced the MK 2, the MK 3, the MK 4 and some other capsule types all at the same time decades ago. "MK" definitely doesn't stand for "Mark"--if Schoeps had named their products on that basis, the MK 3 would have been the improved replacement for the MK 2 and then the MK 4 would have superseded the MK 3, etc., but it's nothing like that.

So just say the letters. Together they stand for the German word for "microphone capsule" (Mikrofonkapsel).

are they actually pronounced "sheps,"?  I always thought it was something along the lines of "shoops"

Decent video with Helmut Wittek of Schoeps talking. Should clear up anything that DSatz did not.
