Description

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

EQIf your budget requires sticking with a low-cost capsule (meaning, the one that came with your donor microphone) you can use this circuit kit to correct one of its sonic flaws.

Most of the inexpensive small-diaphragm capsules we ve sen exhibit a fairly sharp peak at 16kHz — as much as a 6dB boost. We ve built an EQ option into the circuit, so that you can neutralize the capsule s high-frequency peak within the circuit.

Two optional EQ capacitors are included. Choose the one that makes your mic sound its best. You could use a more aggressive rolloff if you want a darker mic, or a milder rolloff if you prefer a neutral top end. Or, if your capsule sounds good already, build the circuit in linear mode and simply enjoy the lower distortion and less cluttered sonic palette provided by the new circuit.

To be clear, if you replace your mic s capsule with one of ours, you won t need this in-circuit EQ. This EQ option exists only to correct the sound of a cheap, hyped capsule.
