Vocal Mic V4U
Vocal Cardioid Microphone
The V4 U is the studio vocal microphone by SCHOEPS. The appearance of the V4 U is based on the SCHOEPS CM 51/3 from 1951. But the V4U is a thoroughly modern studio microphone. The new small-diaphragm capsule architecture, with bevelled collar for controlling the polar response provides a warm, clear sonic character with smoothly rolled-off diffuse-field response. The capsule head (as it appears on the pic) can be adjusted on a tilt angle and optimally provides on-axis frequency response featuring a mild high-frequency lift. The polar response is very smooth; carefully controlled narrowing of the patern at high frequencies. The diffuse-field response is parallel to the 0° response, with a gentle roll-off at high frequencies. The newly designed electronics that have been used during its handmade construction offer a very high maximum sound pressure level.
The V4 U is available in two standard colors: blue or gray and it is also available in two sets: (A) The V4 SGV Set which contains the microphone, a wooden case and the SGV stand clamp and (B) the V4 USM Set which contains the microphone, a wooden case and the USM-V4 elastic suspension.
