anyone weighing the cost of cmc6's+kc5s as an alternative to the neuman rig would be doing themselves a disservice by not checking out the cmr series. a pair of these cost 40% of a cmc6/kc5 setup

It'd be interesting to hear a comp between the cmc+kct and cmr.   Ideally some detailed purely acoustic stuff and also some outrageously loud stuff that pushes the mics to the edge of SPL handling.

CMR series?  Those are actives?

Hey guys, thanks for all the feedback on this....

Freelunch, the CMR has the same maximum SPL capability as a CMC amplifier. What's lower is its sensitivity, i.e. the absolute output voltage that you'd get from it at any given sound pressure level. Both the CMR and the CMC circuits are sonically neutral, and there's no reason to expect any audible difference between them, at very high SPLs or otherwise.

Also, if sound levels are ever at or near the limit of a Colette series microphone (in either form) on other than a momentary basis, you are exposing your hearing to permanent damage and you should limit your exposure to as few seconds as you can, then probably go see an ear doctor--as I understand it, there actually are some medicines that if given very soon after an overdose of sound, may limit or reduce the damage to the cochlear nerve cells.

Thanks for the response DSatz.   I just like to confirm these things through actual listening tests.

Regarding the high SPLs, of course I have protection.  I haven't heard about the drug to reduce hearing damage. That's interesting.

The Schoeps do have a great sound, regardless of price.  The 41's are great from the distance or a bar.  I really dig the sound on the 4's up close!  AK50 caps unsure if I've heard a recording compared.
