The gray� V4 UG Studio Vocal Microphone from Schoeps is a microphone that features a small-diaphragm capsule architecture with a beveled collar for controlling the polar response. It has a warm, clear sonic character with a smoothly rolled-off diffuse-field response. The capsule head has an adjustable tilt angle, while the optimal on-axis frequency response features a mild, high-frequency lift. At high frequencies, this studio vocal microphone delivers a smooth polar response with carefully controlled narrowing of the pattern and a diffuse-field response parallel to the 0� response with a gentle roll-off. The mic offers a high maximum sound-pressure level.
General
- Small-diaphragm capsule architecture with a beveled collar for controlling the polar response
- Warm, clear sonic character with a smoothly rolled-off diffuse-field response
- Capsule head with an adjustable tilt angle
- Optimal on-axis frequency response featuring a mild high-frequency lift
- Smooth polar response; carefully controlled narrowing of the pattern at high frequencies
- Diffuse-field response parallel to the 0� response, with a gentle roll-off at high frequencies
- Offers a high maximum sound-pressure level
Capsule
- A 33mm beveled collar causes the capsule's directivity to increase steadily and smoothly at high frequencies, as in a large-diaphragm microphone
- The acoustic qualities of a small-diaphragm capsule like smooth frequency and polar response are maintained
- The capsule is elastically suspended internally to reduce handling noise and other solid-borne sound
Electronics
- Bridge-type balanced-output circuit
- Maximum sound pressure level of 144 dB SPL, corresponding to an output level of 4.8V
- Output stage is transformerless and free of coupling capacitors
- The resulting output impedance is low and constant with frequency, while the symmetry is 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; good electromagnetic compatibility
