Omnidirectional

Omnidirectional microphones - if constructed as single-diaphragm transducers, as all our omnidirectional microphones and capsules are - can be considered optimal due to their excellent reproduction of low frequencies and extremely low noise (with SCHOEPS as low as 11 dB(A)). The various types differ in the extent of their high-frequency response elevation, which compensates for the high-frequency losses in the diffuse sound field. Thus we offer both “free field equalized” and “diffuse field equalized” transducers as well as two in-between types.

	Compact Microphone CCM 2 omnidirectional linear frequency response corrected for the diffuse sound field preferred applications: close pickup of singers and instruments
show

	Compact Microphone CCM 2H omnidirectional pattern mild high-frequency rise to compensate for losses at medium recording distance often chosen for “spaced microphone” stereo pickup and “Decca Tree” arrangements
show

	Compact Microphone CCM 2S omnidirectional pattern slight high-frequency rise to compensate for losses at moderate recording distances for a very wide range of recording applications often preferred for “spaced microphone” stereo pickup and “Decca Tree” arrangements
show

	Compact Microphone CCM 3 omnidirectional pattern diffuse-field capsule, for miking distances at which the predominant sound is no longer direct useful for relatively distant placement in reverberant environments – as a room microphone, for “spaced microphone” stereo pickup and in “Decca Tree” arrangements
