Vintage Schoeps CMT 30 w/ M934b

SOLD Excellent Condition FET mic w/Card/Omni Cap!!!

Schoeps
CMT 30


Up for consideration is a vintage Schoeps CMT 30 microphone in excellent condition. Both the CMT30 body and M934b capsule were serviced by Schoeps in 2009. Originally this mic was made for French Broadcast / RTF (Radio/Television France) as a FET version of the M221F tube mics. The mic sounds very similar to the famous M221, yet has no expensive AC701k tube to replace. The M934b capsule is skinned in mylar, which is more durable than the fragile nickel capsules on the M221. New, the current model Schoeps CMC 6 with the MK5 omni/card capsule sells for $2,290, so here is your chance to pick up a vintage, recently serviced mic with the famous M934b omni/card capsule at less than half price!!!

CONDITION
This mic is in excellent cosmetic condition, and like-new working condition, as both the capsule and the the amp were serviced by Schoeps in 2009.

MIC COMPATIBILITY
This mic has thread patterns that also work with the original M221 and M221F tube mic and the CMMT30F mics. It will NOT work with the M221a, M221b, CMT or the current CMC mics. If you are not sure, please feel free to ask a question.

POWERING
This mic runs on 12V Phantom Power (not T-Power), but it works with standard 48V Phantom Power just fine -- but is NOT HOT-SWAPPABLE. You must power down the mic before removing or connecting it.

Here are 12 quick, 1-take MP3s of this mic on Bartolex 10-string classical Harp Guitar, tracked in both omni and cardioid, into a Presonus ADL 600 preamp with a Rosetta 200 A/D converter.
