SCHOEPS Mikrofone

Scoring in Immersive Formats at Krzysztof Penderecki European Centre of Music

🎤 A few days outside of the city noise, a beautiful concert hall, and a group of composers, producers and musicians exploring immersive sound.

During the Audiovisual Forum, part of the Kraków Film Music Festival, young composers, finalists of the Young Talent Award 2026, recorded their pieces with the help of engineers Gianluca Massimo and Wil Jones (AIR Studios), with a small ensemble of strings, woodwinds, guitar, harp, piano and percussion.

Alongside classic stereo and surround techniques, the team built an immersive array based on Prof. Hyunkook Lee's ESMA-3D: six SCHOEPS MK 21 for the horizontal layer, two MK 41 for height 🎶

Successful immersive experiences start at the compositional stage. Analysing the scores and artists' intentions allowed the team to pull some elements to further enhance the experience: string harmonics played one by one around the full circle, creating a stationary movement, or woodwind breath travelling side to side

Every composer left with inspiration and their own stems, ready to experiment with their own ideas.

Thank you to Katia Sochaczewska for curating, and to everyone who made it happen.

Thank you for your loyalty! Today we're sending a special colleague into retirement: our Boley lathe 🛠️

Since 1990, she has formed countless capsule housings from solid material - piece by piece, over decades.

Now modern machines take over.
What remains: precision recording tools that will capture performances around the globe for decades to come 🎶🎤

🎛️ When your microphone captures everything honestly, the preamp becomes your creative tool.

Chris Allen, multiple Grammy Award-winning jazz recording engineer, walks through his go-to preamp pairings with SCHOEPS: Avalon for pure transparency, Rupert Neve Shelford for warmth with clarity, and Tube-Tech or 1073 when the source needs smoothing.

🎤 Thirty minutes into a soundcheck for ECM Records, Chris Allen opened his laptop and started shopping for SCHOEPS microphones. He's used them on every record since.

In this interview, recorded at NAMM 2026, the multiple Grammy Award-winning jazz recording engineer shares how a pair of CMC 6 amplifiers changed everything, from that first session with Joe Lovano's "Trio Tapestry" at Sear Sound to a workflow built entirely around the Colette series.

If you could only take one boom mic to a desert island… you'd still want two.

With the new Desert Island Boom Set, you get both. The MK 41 delivers the controlled pickup and natural sound that dialogue recording demands indoors. The KMIT, acoustically identical to the CMIT 5, handles outdoor location work, with moisture immunity and an integrated 70 Hz low-cut.
At the core sits the compact CMC 1 U amplifier. Capsule swap in seconds, no second mic needed. And because it's part of the modular Colette series, the amp accepts any MK capsule, so the kit grows with you. Everything packs into a single Pelican (Pelican) Case. All in signature CMIT blue.

Inspired by our famous RC 1200 from the Colette series, today we proudly present a magnificent new development: The WC 600 from the Closette series. We hope the premium price tag of 468 $ won't cause a sh*tstorm! 🚽🎙️

Yesterday, SWR* trainees in media design and colleagues from various departments spent the day with us in Karlsruhe.

We took them through our production facility to see how SCHOEPS microphones are built, from development to final assembly.

The afternoon turned into a deep-dive microphone talk with our co-CEO Helmut Wittek and acoustics engineer Hannes Dieterle , covering current projects and real-world questions about microphone use in broadcasting. 💡

Thanks to the SWR team for great questions and genuine curiosity!🙏
