The CMC 1 KV is a compact Colette microphone amplifier with a laterally outgoing cable, designed for applications where minimal size and weight are critical. Approximately one-third the length and 53% lighter than the CMC 6, it maintains identical or superior electrical performance through advanced electronic design. Compatible with all MK capsules and Colette system accessories, it functions as a fully equivalent alternative to the CMC 6. The unit features integrated RFI shielding, operates on P48 or P12 phantom power, and is engineered for high-performance applications in professional film, broadcast, and field recording environments where space constraints demand a miniature solution without compromising audio quality.
