Schoeps-style SDC Circuit Kit
Transformerless (Schoeps style) SDC circuit kit This circuit kit contains a full implementation of the renowned Schoeps CMC5 transformerless design, with numerous upgrades and enhancements that we've developed over the years. We use the highest quality parts, including 1% tolerance 50ppm Dale audio resistors, low-noise NOS output transistors, and an individually and manually biased NOS JFET to ensure maximum SPL with minimal distortion. The finished circuit delivers very low distortion, very high sensitivity, and low self-noise, just like the best pencil mics in the world. It deserves a new capsule The circuit performance is world-class. It deserves a fine capsule -- because, after all, the capsule determines about 95% of the sound of the microphone. We strongly recommend our custom SDC capsules, which customers report go head-to-head with Schoeps and Neumann microphones. Corrective EQ Options If your budget requires sticking with a low-cost capsule (meaning, the one that came with
