Topic: where to buy new schoeps

[jerryfreak]

i was thinking of biting the bullet on the mk22s

i know that the dealers all are price-fixed by schoeps, is there anybody who would offer small discounts, free shipping, free matching, etc?

B&H is in teh microsoft cashback program for 2-3.5% (they dont tell you what the percentage is until after the purchase!), but i cant figure out how to order a matched pair on their site.

id much rather deal with an established vendor who i can talk to about it.

pm me if you dont want to talk about a vendor in a public forum.

thanks

Sonic Sense, I've always enjoyed working with them.

Jerry Bruck at Posthorn has been helpful to me in my purchases.  He has been a dealer for a long time, is in the AES and a long-time taper.  He is knowledgeable.

I've also had good dealings with Jerry.

I do know that if you write or call B&H they can set you up with whatever you need for Schoep's but not sure if that will translate into that 2-3% savings unless its posted on the site

if you don't buy them, let me know if you might be down to rent a pair for hampton, and split the costs.

I've had a pair on loan since early December, specifically to try them out on a series of jobs in the weeks before Christmas, and I like them a lot. The trouble is that my shopping list was already full before these found their way to a spot near the top of the list 

They got used on classical music concerts in larger concert halls (2500-5000+ seats) carol concerts ranging from largish cathedrals (2000-3000 seats) to churches (about 500 seats) to the Ball Room at Buckingham Palace (in carpeted floor setup seating about 400-500) in the roles of ORTF and ORTF-like near coincident (different spacing) main pair setups, as spot mics on RC700/1200 extension tubes for vocal soloists, as speech mics for readings, and on solo harp, lute, and clarinet.

Before trying them I was interested but not especially convinced that I really needed them as I have many other Schoeps capsules (including MK4 and MK21) and couldn't really see that I'd have a great need for an intermediate pattern. Having now tried them, I found them far more useful than I expected; partly due to the polar pattern and partly sue to the very 'friendly' way that they resolve the frequency spectrum. They worked particularly well in the Harp/Lute/Guitar spot roles and proved very useful in the close up vocal spot role (think Pavarotti/3 Tenors type positioning) with heavy PA coverage and close foldback speakers, etc..As a main stereo pickup I found them rather LF light but my most used choices for this on full range programme would probably be spaced/baffled omnis of some sort or maybe the MK21s in an ORTF-like array for things where the omni LF extension isn't needed. The HF resolution and 'texture' on the MK22 is very beguiling, particularly on plucked things like harps and lute/guitar; smooth and clear without being hard or clinical.

For me, a very useful capsule and definitely on the buy soon list. How soon will depend upon how long I can get away with holding on to the demo pair
