Need help choosing?
Choose MK 5 when one capsule must cover both omni and cardioid duties. Dedicated MK 2 or MK 4 capsules remain the simpler choice for fixed-pattern rigs.
The Schoeps MK 5 is a mechanically switchable Colette capsule offering true omnidirectional and cardioid operation from a single diaphragm.
Both settings retain the natural Schoeps character, making the MK 5 a practical choice when microphone placement or room conditions may require a change of pattern.
