SCHOEPS Parabolic Dish Set with CMC 1 L and MK 21

A parabolic dish is an extraordinary tool in the hands of a skilled sound engineer, since it achieves a surprisingly high directivity at high and medium frequencies with relatively simple means. With this parabolic dish system consisting of a special OEM parabolic dish from Telinga and a Schoeps CCM microphone (or CMC 1 L + MK), these characteristics can fully be realized. In addition we achieved significant improvements in terms of some usual disadvantages of a parabolic dish system by several innovative measures.

The enormous directivity of a parabolic dish often comes with a very unbalanced frequency response, which also varies widely for different directions of sound incidence. This usually leads to a clear coloration. To overcome that, the SCHOEPS Parabolic Dish Set is a matched system. The microphone position is designed to produce a smooth frequency response (unusual for a parabolic system) for the three recommended CCM microphone (or CMC 1 L + MK) types. Although the frequency response is now smooth, it is not yet even, so must still be equalized. This is automatically achieved with the free plugin ParabolEQ. The plugin performs filtering based on the entered application parameters, producing a flat frequency response between 100 Hz and 20 kHz. The correction curve is visualized accordingly.

The design with an OEM Rycote windscreen leads to a high attenuation of wind noise on the microphone. The optionally available high wind cover or - if the parabolic dish must be transparent - the included windjammer provide further damping of strong wind. If the inevitable wind noise on the dish itself is low enough for recording, disturbances to the microphone are thus reliably avoided.
