“Lucky for us and for anyone comparing large diaphragm mics on Audio Test Kitchen, Schoeps capture microphones make vocals and acoustic guitars sound alive and authentic,” says Oana. Using multiple audio sources across a variety of genres, Audio Test Kitchen has been able to showcase the personality of hundreds of large diaphragm condenser microphone. “No variation in the source enables fair, unbiased, apples-to-apples comparisons between every microphone in the Audio Test Kitchen library,” explains Harley. But because of the Schoeps capture microphones, Audio Test Kitchen’s vocal reamp system makes it sound as if each one of these 250 large-diaphragm condenser mics was in front of the source, live, from the beginning,” concludes Oana. “We were worried that anything but a fully live performance wouldn’t reveal how the LDC mics actually sound on vocals. Through the assistance of the researchers and anechoic chamber at Harman Industries, Audio Test Kitchen achieved final refinement of their vocal and acoustic guitar capture and reamplification methods. “In this scenario, the Schoeps CMC 6 body with MK 2 omni capsule has the magical quality of being both objectively and subjectively accurate to the source.” - Alex Oana On test sources ranging from a variety of vocals, guitars, pre-recorded songs, and pink noise, the Schoeps MK 2 and MK 4 exhibited the rare combination of technical accuracy and character accuracy. In an early show of support, Scott Boland, head of Schoeps US distribution, sent Audio Test Kitchen a full set of cardioid and omni capsules on CMC 6 preamplifier bodies.
