Schoeps CCM 41 LG Supercardioid Compact Condenser MicrophoneThe CCM 41 is strongly directional. Sound arriving from off axis is attenuated even more than with a cardioid. The pickup is "drier" and less susceptible to acoustic feedback than any other SCHOEPS microphone type (a loudspeaker should not be located directly along the rear axis of the microphone, however). Its directivity is highly independent of frequency, so that even sounds arriving off axis and reverberant sound are registered without coloration.
