Pads
DZC 10, DZC 20
– ca. 10 or 20 dB constant attenuation
– raises maximum sound pressure level by ca.
10 dB / 20 dB
– attenuates signal ahead of microphone ampli fiers of
the Colette modular system
Under extreme conditions, even a SCHOEPS Colette
series microphone can be overdriven by very high sound
pressure levels. Here the limiting factor is not the cap-
sule but the microphone amplifier. The overload point
ranges from 128 – 135 dB-SPL, depending on the cap-
sule and the amplifier type (e.g. 5 dB lower with the
“+5 dB“ version).
In these situations the signal level at the amplifier
input may be attenuated by inserting a DZC between
the capsule and the microphone amplifier or the Active
Ac cessories.
The use of two DZC 10 on one microphone will
result in an attenuation of only ca. 15 dB due to the
capacitive principle of operation. If the level must be
attenuated by a full 20 dB, a DZC 20 should be used.

Capsule Swivel
GVC
– allows the angle of a capsule to be adjusted on all
microphone amplifiers of the Colette modular system
– adjustable from 0° through 120° in either direction
The electrically passive GVC capsule swivel may be
inserted between any capsule and micro phone amplifier
of the Colette modular system, or before an Active
Cable, Active Extension Tube, or the CUT 1.
This is especially useful with capsules intended for
frontal sound pickup such as the MK 4 (cardioid).
Maximum length: 64 mm
Diameter: 20 / 21 mm
Weight: 75 g
Surface: matte gray (g) or nickel (ni)
Laterally-addressed capsules (MK 4V, MK 41V, MK 4VXS,
MK 6 and MK 8) can be used on the GVC with a small
elastic ring which we will supply at no extra charge. This
ring should be slipped over the threads of the GVC so
that the capsule can be aimed in the desired direction.
