Details

I/O: XLR-3M analog output
Notable use: recommended entry point for those starting out with the Colette system (per Schoeps product copy)
Notes: FLAG: single-diaphragm true condenser with purely mechanical (not electrical) pattern switching between omni and cardioid; each setting matches MK2S/MK4 quality but response is 'similar, not identical.' The related fixed-body CCM 5 variant is DISCONTINUED (confirmed via schoeps.de discontinued-products page, July 2026) - not included in this catalog. Detailed max SPL/sensitivity/frequency-response not confirmed; left blank.
