The MK 2 S is a beautifully neutral, detailed omni – a real workhorse for stereo recording. Its placement near the reverb radius creates a wonderfully balanced image, and it’s a fantastic choice for acoustic instruments, room ambience, and anyone wanting a truly transparent sound. Perfect for serious engineers needing a versatile, high-quality omni capsule.
Product Description
Schoeps MK2 S Omni, Microphone CapsuleThe MK 2S exhibits a slight high-frequency emphasis for frontal sound incidence, with only a slight rolloff of high frequencies off axis and in the reverberant sound field.
This frequency response characteristic falls between that of the MK 2 and the MK 3, making the capsule suitable for a wide range of applications.
The MK 2S has proven particularly useful in two- and three-microphone stereo arrays, where its placement near the reverberation radius of the sound field presents a sonically balanced pickup favored by many recording engineers. This model has become our most popular pressure transducer.
