Boundary-Layer Plate; Cable Hangers
Miniature Cable Hanger
HC
This accessory is used when hanging a capsule on a
KC Active Cable or a CCM compact microphone.
Incorporated in its de sign is the SGC swivel which
allows orientation to any angle laterally, and vertically
to any angle from 0° to 100°.
There is very little danger of an Active KC Cable or
the cable of a CCM twist ing (e.g. as a result of rising
temperature) after it has been suspended.
The HC is suitable only for use with the CCM _U or the
Active Cable KC because of the cable diameter. If used
with the CCM _L (which has a thinner cable), the mount-
ing should be secured additionally with adhesive tape.
Color: gray
Cable Hanger
H 20g
This cable hanger suspends a microphone of the Colette
modular system from its cable, and allows it to be set
both vertically and horizontally to nearly any angle.
A tie line can be attached to a loop in the cable to
keep the microphone absolutely steady.
The use of SCHOEPS microphone cable particularly
minimizes the risk that the cable will twist after being
set up, e.g. in response to an increase in temperature.
Color: gray / matte gray (g)
Boundary-Layer Adapter
BLCg
Turns any directional (e.g. cardioid or supercardioid)
CCM compact microphone or capsule with Active
Cable into a boundary-layer (“PZM”) microphone. This
is especially useful when recording moving singers /
actors on a stage, or when a microphone on a stand
would be obtrusive. A rubber ring built into the bot-
tom of the plate prevents inadvertent rotation of the
plate or marring of the surface on which it is placed.

A directional boundary-layer microphone tends to ”even”
the balance of speakers and singers at various distances. For
sources at greater distances, the sensitivity of the microphone
increases in a compensating manner due to the angle of
sound incidence, as shown here with a supercardioid.
Placing the microphone on a rigid room boundary of sufficient
area (a floor, wall, etc.) will increase its pickup of direct sound
by 3 dB more than its pickup of diffuse sound. This provides a
noticeable improvement in clarity.
