Dear Customer,

Congratulations on the purchase of your

SCHOEPS MSTC 64 Ug ORTF stereo microphone.

Below, we have provided some tips on how

best to use your microphone, as well as some

technical data.

This microphone consists of a T-shaped body

with two built-in microphone ampli fiers, and

a matched pair of MK 4 cardioid capsules of

the Colette modular system which are mount-

ed 170 mm apart with an included angle of

110° (ORTF system). The stereophonic record-

ing angle* is 95°.

This is probably the simplest stereo tech-

nique in general use. In al most any situation it

produces an evenly-spread stereo image with

good localization, often with out the need for

spot or ambient miking. Setup is particularly

quick and simple since the capsule spacing

and angles are fixed, with only a single stand

and microphone cable re quired. Placement is

relatively uncritical and the technique pro-

duces good results even in the hands of an

inexperienced or hasty user.

The MSTC 64 accepts any 12 V or 48 V

standard ized phantom powering (for details

see page 13), with the maximum sound pres-

sure level being slightly reduced (ca. 4 dB)

when powered by 12 V.

The two MK 4g capsules included with the

MSTC 64g are a specially selected, matched

pair.

Accessories (included):

polished wood case, SG 20 stand clamp

In many situations the use of an elastic sus-

pension is advisable. Due to the weight of the

MSTC, the A 20 S with its stiffer elastics

should be used.

Accessories (optional):

B 5 D and BBG windscreens, A 20 S elastic

suspension

sources should be placed, as “seen“ by the

microphone.
