This Schoeps ORTF Amplifier for Stereo Microphone consists of a T-shaped two-channel microphone amplifier, that accepts two paired MK 4 cardioid capsules (not included). They are arranged at a distance of 6.7" at an angle of 110° to each other, as required for the ORTF method. The MSTC 7 U gives very good results without spot microphones. In addition, its placement is relatively unimportant, making it suitable for the rather inexperienced user. Setup is quick and easy, because only a single stand and cable are required and the capsule distance and the offset angle of the capsules to each other don't need to be adjusted.

Q: 3. it makes sense to add onto the question I had last night about the Yamaha amplifier. What you need to know is you sell the Samsung TV J5500 in 40 inch. I got the 32 inch and it has the sound choices which are driving me nuts. I got it quickly knowing the Sony 40 inch was too large for the space in the entertainment center. So you can look at what is on the back of that TV and see the outputs which would go to the amplifier and from the amp to the B & O speakers. My question again: what do I use for the TV to the amplifier connection and then the amplifier to the speakers?? I do not understand banana plugs and there is no place on the amplifier for loose end speaker wires. Thank you!!

A: The receiver offers binding posts that allows for bare wired speaker cables to be wrapped around the terminal posts for the speaker inputs:1. Connecting speaker cables:2. Remove approximately 10 mm (3/8 in) of insulation from the end of each speaker cable.3. Twist the bare wires of the cable firmly together.4. Unscrew the knob.5. Insert one bare wire into the hole in the side of each terminal. Tighten the knob to secure the wire. The TV audio would route from the TV's digital optical output to the amplifier's digital optical input via a TOSLINK cable. Yamaha Owner's Manual: http://bit.ly/1ON0NfG

Q: 4. Is this amp bridgeable for mono?

Q: 5. How do I get a spare input cable? 5 pin mini XLR to duel female XLR cables are impossible to find.

A: B&H does not carry the input cable for the HP2 as a separate product. You may wish to contact Presonus support directly for spare parts: http://bit.ly/1pHn4Vm

Q: 6. This amp, like the S501 and the S701, shows the tone controls at Bass (20 Hz) and Treble (20kHz), +/- 10 db. What does this mean? Most people can't hear anything at 20 or 20k hz anyway. Thanks

A: The +/- treble and bass controls on the Yamaha A-S301 receiver gives you control over the level of the bass and treble roll off so that you can increase the bass for enhanced bass response or decrease it if you feel the bass coming out of your particular speakers might be too strong and it would be the same for the treble.

Q: 7. How’s the rear and side rejection? Thx for your time in advance

A: Thank you for your question. This microphone features a Lobar/Supercardiod pattern for excellent rear and side rejection

Q: 8. Can you hook up a equalizer to the Yamaha. A-s301

A: An equalizer cannot be connected to th amplifier. Preamplifier in and out ports or Tape Monitor ports would be necessary.

Q: 9. How much humidity can the CMIT 5 handle? I live in Texas and just curious if this is a good option or if I should go with something else. Thanks!

A: Our customers from Florida, Hawaii, the Caribbean,Thailand, and the Phillippines all report excellent resultsfor many years of working with this microphone in very high humidty environments. It is tough enough for ENG use and location film shoots.Many televison crews use this mic to shoot outdoor sporting events in all sorts of weather conditions. Note : Use it with a shock mount to avoid any handling noise.

Q: 10. would this system fit the neumann 184's I'm used to recording xy for stereo imaging and looking for a field setup so thinking about this vs the cyclone system??

A: If using with the 184s use this model without the Connbox. Keep in mind the mics will be very close to the windscreen due to their length. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/966592-REG/rycote_080210_ortf_windshield_kit.html
