Customer Review Summary
The Schoeps Stereo-Set MK 22 is an exceptional pair of microphones that truly excels in capturing the timbre of acoustic instruments, particularly the piano. The dynamic range is impressive, and it faithfully reproduces incidental sounds, making it a favourite among professionals. The sound quality is reminiscent of the recordings by Keith Jarrett, who relies on Schoeps for his work, which speaks volumes about their capabilities.
These microphones are not only outstanding for piano but also perform remarkably well as overheads and on a variety of acoustic instruments. They deliver a beautiful linear frequency response, even off-axis, which is a crucial aspect for versatility in different recording environments.
The MK 22 provides a musical rendition of sound, offering a smooth presentation rather than absolute precision. For those seeking a more aggressive or precise sound, alternatives like Neumann or Sennheiser may be more appropriate. However, when paired with high-quality converters and preamps, such as the Prism Sound Titan or Grace Design, the MK 22 shines with a warm and captivating tone.
