Schoeps

Schoeps DSP-4 KFM 360 This unit is in good cosmetic condition and turns on, but I did not test it myself. I bought it used from the exclusive Schoeps French distributor Areitec in 2017, so it should be in good working condition. Invoice is available. I never had any opportunity to use this fantastic piece of gear. Sold as is. Comes in its original Schoeps wooden box with a Schuko power cord (France), a stereo XLR cable (5 pins) and a XLR split Y cable. The DSP-4 KFM 360 is a 24-bit processor unit. Together with the sphere microphone KFM 360 and two bidirectional compact condenser microphones CCM 8L, it forms a compact 5.1 surround recording system with excellent spatial imaging capability. The processor derives the six 5.1 surround channels from only four microphone signals (the two pressure transducers in the KFM 360 plus two figure-8s) and offers a wide range of selectable settings. The primary characteristics of the DSP-4 KFM 360 are:  – analog and digital inputs and outputs  – integrated 48 Volt phantom powering and microphone preamplification  – built-in equalization for the microphones  – digital processing can be performed during or after the actual recording  – analog control “feel”  – capability to store control “presets”  – directionality of the front and rear channel microphones is independently selectable  – the stereo basis width of the front channels is independently variable  – adjustable time delay and low-pass filtering for the rear channels  – sampling rate 44.1, 48 or 96 kHz, 24 bit In addition to amplifying the microphone signals, in the “B: SURR” operating mode the DSP-4 KFM 360 provides compensation for the low-frequency response of the figure-8 microphones and appropriate diffuse-field equalization for the pressure transducers. The front-channel outputs result from summing the outputs of the pressure transducers with the outputs of the figure-8s, while the rear-channel outputs result from subtracting these signals (see drawing on next page). The resulting “virtual microphones” face frontward and backward as do the actual figure-8s. The directional patterns of the front- and rear-facing “virtual microphones” may be set independently, from omnidirectional through cardioid all the way to figure-8 (though the extreme settings are of only limited usefulness). This permits flexible adaptation to the particular acoustic conditions of the recording venue, since the choice of directional pattern affects the amount of reverberant energy that will be picked up. If the unprocessed microphone signals are recorded (four channels), the effective directional settings can be chosen retroactively during post-production playback. The center channel signal is derived from the front channels by a matrix. An additional channel contains only a low-frequency signal up to 80 Hz, which is obtained by summing the pressure transducer outputs and reducing the total level by 6 dB. To prevent the disturbing effect of rear channel localization of sound sources, the rear channel signals can be reduced in level, delayed and/or processed by an adjustable low-pass filter. In addition to these primary functions, each selector switch also has a secondary function that allows, for example, the relative front-to-back channel gain or the left/right balance to be adjusted. While recording there is also a monitoring function which permits twelve different signals to be heard through Output III, as determined by the set- ting of the REC MONITOR knob.

Schoeps DSP-4 KFM 360 This unit is in good cosmetic condition and turns on, but I did not test it myself with mikes. It is a former demo unit from the exclusive Schoeps French distributor Areitec.

Capsule Schoeps MK241C hypercardioïde, pour monter sur microphone M221F, CMT30F ou CMMT30F. Testée, fonctionne parfaitement. Livrée dans son étui d'origine (voir photos). --------------------------------------------------- A Schoeps MK241C, hypercardioid capsule, suitable for the M221F, CMT30F or CMMT30F bodies. Does not fit the other versions of the Schoeps CMT series due to inverted thread. Tested, works perfectly. Comes in its original case (see pictures). International buyers are welcome, please inquire for shipping outside the EU.

Le BZ03F est un adaptateur d'alimentation spécifique pour les microphones Schoeps CMT30F / CMMT30F fabriqués pour l'ORTF, qui nécessitent une alimentation fantôme avec une tension négative de -9 à -12V. Cette tension peut être fournie directement par l'entrée d'un enregistreur Nagra ou d'un préamplificateur de l'ORTF. Pour tous les autres cas, le BZ03F s'insère entre le microphone et l'entrée de l'enregistreur ou de la console pour fournir cette tension. Fourni avec un câble SOGIE mâle-femelle de 5 mètres pour la connexion entre le microphone et l'adaptateur. Le câble SOGIE-XLR nécessaire pour la liaison entre l'adaptateur et le préamplificateur n'est pas fourni, mais peut être fabriqué en utilisant un connecteur SOGIE vendu dans mes autres annonces. Fonctionne avec une pile 9 volts standard, pour une autonomie d'environ 48 heures. Il est conseillé d'utiliser une pile alcaline, et non un accumulateur dont la tension est trop faible pour alimenter correctement le microphone. Testé avec un CMT-30F et un CMMT-30F (voir mes autres ventes), fonctionne parfaitement. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The BZ03F is a powering adapter specifically intendend for the Schoeps CMT30F and CMMT30F microphones made for the French radio and television, which require a negative phantom voltage. If you don't have a Nagra tape recorder or an ORTF-type preamplifier, you can use this cable-mounted adapter to provide the correct phantom voltage to the microphone. Provided withe a 5 metre (16 feet) cable for the microphone-adapter connection. The adapter-preamplifier cable is not provided, but can be made using the connectors sold in my other sales. Powered by a single standard 9 volts battery, with a battery life of roughly 48 hours. It is advisable to use an alkaline battery, as the voltage of NiMH batteries is too low to power the microphone properly. Tested with a CMT-30F and a CMMT-30F (see my other sales), works perfectly. International buyers are welcome, please inquire for shipping outside the EU.

The case is in good condition (see pictures), the plastic is free from dent or crack, the thread is smooth, the foam is supple and does not crumble, International buyers are welcome, please inquire for shipping outside the EU.

ORIGINAL MATCHED PAIR " NEUMANN KMi 85 ", vintage (1970s). COLLECTOR CONDITION! Like new condition in the original packaging with two kv58 capsule extension tubes and one Neumann DS100 and two sg21 clips. black finish (for broadcast). i = xlr connector. Fantastic and very hard to find "close miking" stereo set (for acoustic guitar, speech, classical music ("tenor" singer (according to me, this stereo set is way better ("more musical") than the "Schoeps Pavarotti stand"), drum...). Very close serial numbers (45508 and 45511). The capsules are (of course) from the same batch with very close serial numbers too. LIKE NEW CONDITION (very hard to find, almost impossible! You can find for sale one good km i 85 from time to time, but the kmi 85 matched pair is almost impossible to buy. This stereo set is a "secret weapon" of the best sound engineers).  Neumann KM85i (...) A long-time staple for orchestral and acoustic recordings thanks to their clear and natural sound, the Neumann KM8x series of microphones can be found in just about every major studio and scoring stage -­­ often half a dozen or more of them under one roof. Essentially, the KM85i (“i” designation simply means it has an XLR connector, typically for export to North America) is the same microphone as the widely ­loved and more expensive KM84i, but with a built-­in bass rolloff. While this makes the microphone less useful in distant applications, the KM85i’s integral high­pass filter actually comes in handy as you move the microphone closer to an instrument or voice. Proximity effect is an acoustical bass­ boost inherent to directional microphones as they move closer to the signal source, which makes the cardioid-patterned KM84i a bit too bottom­-heavy when used as a close mic. The KM85i, however, sounds clear as a bell at closer distances, arguably making it a better choice for snare drums (engage the ­10dB pad to avoid ugly distortion - or don’t), acoustic guitars, and any other sound that benefits from having a microphone within spitting distance.
