Schoeps MK6 Multipattern Capsule

Schoeps discontinued the production of these three pattern MK6 capsules in 2010/2011 due to production costs. Using the dial at the top, the pattern can be selected from cardioid, omni, and figure eight. These capsules are compatible with any Schoeps CMC amplifier. These capsules have been frequently used. They have been tested at the time of this listing for sound quality/noise prominence and are in good condition.
