VINTAGE -- Schoeps CMT 30 FNU Stereo Pair

With Three M221 Capsules in FET / Mylar

SCHOEPS CMT 30 FNU -- 2 Cardioid/Omni caps + a MK 241

Up for consideration is a very rare pair of Schoeps CMT 30 FN microphones. This is the only Schoeps FET body that uses the exact same capsules of the world famous M221 series. This set includes two CMT 30 FNU bodies, a M934b, an M934C (both are switchable omni / cardioid), as well as a MK241 hypercardioid. Click HERE for the Schoeps CMT 30 FN page, and HERE for the capsules page MK241 | M934. The bodies have been converted to XLR and run at 12 Volts, but can safely be powered standard 48 Volt Phantom Power, as long as you power on and off the mics AFTER connecting them (i.e., they are not hot-swapable). A M221A set just sold on eBay for $3200 without cables or PSUs. New, this set in CMC would cost you over $5,500, so here is your chance to pick up a excellent condition CMT 30 FNU set of world-class microphones with the beloved M221 capsules, and save several THOUSAND dollars!

CONDITION
These mics are in excellent condition. I just had the M934b and the Mk 241 serviced, and they all perform perfectly. I only used them briefly for tracking Classical Harp Guitar, and they sound amazing -- just like an M221b I recently sold. I REALLY HATE to sell these, but must do so to finance a C12VR makeover as well as a Ramirez 6- to 10-string guitar conversion.

OTHER INFO
These mics accept the capsules from the original M221 series (non-A, non-B). Also these capsules will fit the M221 body (non-A, non-B). They are all in mylar, and are much more stable under swings in humidity and temperature. I found the sound indistinguishable, myself between the M221b and the same capsule on the CMT 30 FN, which lead me to believe that the magic in the M221 series is in their capsules!!! The Phase Ring is needed 100% of the time on the MK 241 hypercardioid. The Phase Ring needs to be on the M934b in Cardiod mode only, while the M934c needs no phase ring at all in either mode.

SHIPPING & TERMS
USA shipping is $17.50 via USPS Priority Mail, with Delivery Confirmation, and optional insurance. All sales are final, so please ask questions first. Guaranteed not to be DOA. I do accept PayPal. Thanks for looking. This auction is for two SCHOEPS CMT 30 FNU bodies with a M934b, M934C, and MK241 capsules. No other accessories are included.
