Schoeps V4, Studio Vocal Microphone

The V4 U is the studio vocal microphone by SCHOEPS. It unites the outstanding technical characteristics typical of SCHOEPS with a timeless, classic design.

The “look” of the V4 U is based on the SCHOEPS CM 51/3 from 1951. But the V4 U is a thoroughly modern studio microphone. Its capsule, circuitry and mechanical construction are the result of extensive new development.

THE CAPSULE

·         A 33-mm beveled collar causes the capsule’s directivity to increase steadily and smoothly at high frequencies, as in a largediaphragm microphone.

·         Meanwhile, the superior acoustic qualities of a small-diaphragm capsule like the extraordinarily smooth frequency and polar response are maintained.

·         The capsule is elastically suspended internally to reduce solid-borne sound such as handling noise.

THE ELECTRONICS

·         Newly-developed bridge-type balanced output circuit.

·         Maximum sound pressure level of 144 dB SPL, corresponding to an output level of 4.8 V.

·         Output stage transformerless and free of coupling capacitors.

·         The resulting output impedance is low and constant with frequency, while the symmetry is very high.

·         Symmetrical, balanced output, the entire audio circuit is symmetrical from the output of the FET onward.

·         High immunity to interference, with gapless shielding and a modern RFI filter at the output; very good electromagnetic compatibility.
