Frequently Asked Questions
The MK 5 offers a more refined, less colored sound than the KM 184; it's more neutral and transparent, requiring a more careful recording environment.
While you *can* use another preamp, the CMC 6 is specifically designed to complement the MK 5, providing the optimal gain and sonic character.
The 40Hz - 20kHz range represents a slightly different frequency response curve, typically emphasizing lower frequencies for a fuller sound—check the Schoeps documentation for specific details.
