The Schoeps CCM 4VXP LG Compact Condenser Microphone (Side-Address Cardioid, Detachable Lemo to XLR-3M) is a miniaturization of classic condenser microphone technology, without a compromise in sonic quality. The microphone features the same capsule as the equivalent Collete Series microphone with comparable amplifier circuitry but in a much smaller length. The capsule and amplifier are inseparable within a single housing.

As a true condenser, the microphone delivers a low noise and distortion flat frequency response without the need for electronic frequency correction. Its small and lightweight form factor makes it appropriate for universal use including installed hanging applications. It can run on both +48V and +12V phantom power and be used with very long cables over 328' (100 m) in length.

Strong Proximity Attenuation    Does Not Require Frequency Correction    Balanced Low-Impedance Output    For Universal Use    Suitable For Installed Applications    Compact and Lightweight Form Factor    Sound Independent of Directional Pattern    Runs on 48V and 12V Phantom Power    Works with Cables Over 100 Meters

Q: 9. How close does this need to be to the source? I have to film 3 people at once and was told I could boom a condenser or cardioid mic Can this plug directly into dslr of using battery power?

A: Close proximity (within .5 meter, .25 meter or less is better). This mic is designed for use on ONE person. While one could POTENTIALLY use with more than one person, it is NOT designed for that purpose. Additionally, a "Boom" Mic is typically designed to pick up only one person at a time. To use one microphone for 3 people, the room or environment would have to be very quiet. One Mic for each person is best, or, you may want to consider a "wider angle Boom Mic, such as those listed on B&H as "Stereo Shotgun Mics": https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/products/Shotgun/ci/8533/N/4291086008?filters=fct_stereo-mono_7426%3Astereo
