Overview:

Schoeps MK-41 Capsule
Supercardioid pattern
Highly consistent directionality throughout its frequency range
for music and speech
high directivity, comparable to that of a short “shotgun“ microphone up through midrange frequencies
often preferred for use in film sound recording and as a spot microphone in orchestras.
The Schoeps MK 41 capsule is strongly directional. Sound arriving from off axis is attenuated even more than with a cardioid. The pickup is “drier” and less susceptible to acoustic feedback than any other SCHOEPS capsule type (a loudspeaker should not be located directly along the rear axis of the microphone, however).
Schoeps MK 4 Capsule
classic cardioid
suitable for the widest range of applications, either as a spot microphone or for stereo recording with coincident, ORTF or M/S microphone arrangements
with consistent directionality throughout its frequency range
often preferred for singing or speaking voices and most instruments.
The MK-4 capsule offers the highest sound quality, flat frequency response, optimal rejection of rear-incident sound, and a directional pattern that remains constant throughout the audio frequency range. In the diffuse sound field it shows only a mild rise around 10 kHz; the sonic impression thus remains free of coloration even when sound is arriving from all sides at once. The sonic impression is thus free of coloration whether sound is arriving at the front or at the sides of the microphone, as well as for diffuse sound (reverberation) in a room.
Schoeps MK 2 Capsule
omnidirectional pattern
very flat frequency response
corrected for a free sound field
for use close to the sound source (frontal sound
often preferred for relatively close miking of instruments, vocalists, etc.
This capsule type has a flat frequency response for frontal sound incidence. This yields a very natural sound when recordings are made within the reverberation radius, where the direct sound (frontal incidence) predominates over the reverberant sound (random angles of incidence).
