This has given the MK 4 a reputation as a universal \"problem solver\" even in difficult recording situations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIts flat frequency response, and the constancy of its directional pattern for all frequencies, are the basis of the MK4’s sound quality. Even in the diffuse sound field its frequency response is flat, with a slight increase at 10 kHz compensating for high-frequency losses in the room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThus the sound image is transparent for direct-arriving sound, for sound arriving from the side, and for diffuse sound in the room (reverberation).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe MK 4 is a classic small-diaphragm microphone with all the advantages of this microphone type. Its frequency response and the consistency of its polar diagram from low to high frequencies are exemplary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLike all SCHOEPS capsules, the MK 4 achieves its flat frequency response solely by its mechanical architecture, without any electronic filtering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs a pressure gradient transducer, the MK 4 has a single diaphragm that is exposed to the sound from both the front and rear. The side sound inlets must therefore never be covered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe “reach” (distance factor) of a classic cardioid such as the MK 4 is about 1.7 times that of an omnidirectional microphone. Thus even at greater distances from the sound source, direct sound can be obtained. The advantages of the MK 4 are shown especially when mixing several microphone signals - pickup of sound from the side is reduced in level but not subject to coloration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt 90° the attenuation of the MK 4 is 6 dB, and at 180°, some 20 to 30 dB.

This has given the MK 4 a reputation as a universal \"problem solver\" even in difficult recording situations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIts flat frequency response, and the constancy of its directional pattern for all frequencies, are the basis of the MK4’s sound quality. Even in the diffuse sound field its frequency response is flat, with a slight increase at 10 kHz compensating for high-frequency losses in the room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThus the sound image is transparent for direct-arriving sound, for sound arriving from the side, and for diffuse sound in the room (reverberation).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe MK 4 is a classic small-diaphragm microphone with all the advantages of this microphone type. Its frequency response and the consistency of its polar diagram from low to high frequencies are exemplary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLike all SCHOEPS capsules, the MK 4 achieves its flat frequency response solely by its mechanical architecture, without any electronic filtering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs a pressure gradient transducer, the MK 4 has a single diaphragm that is exposed to the sound from both the front and rear. The side sound inlets must therefore never be covered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe “reach” (distance factor) of a classic cardioid such as the MK 4 is about 1.7 times that of an omnidirectional microphone. Thus even at greater distances from the sound source, direct sound can be obtained. The advantages of the MK 4 are shown especially when mixing several microphone signals - pickup of sound from the side is reduced in level but not subject to coloration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt 90° the attenuation of the MK 4 is 6 dB, and at 180°, some 20 to 30 dB.

The wide cardioid polar pattern is extremely consistent across the frequency range. Laterally-arriving direct sound and reflections are picked up without added coloration.
