SCHOEPS Microphones Unveils Desert Island Boom Set for NAB 2026

SCHOEPS Microphones is set to debut the Desert Island Boom Set at NAB Show 2026, offering a streamlined, high-performance kit designed specifically for the rigors of location sound and broadcast.

Exhibiting at the Redding Audio booth, the company's latest offering centers on the ultra-compact CMC 1 U microphone amplifier paired with two essential capsules: the MK 41 supercardioid for indoor dialogue and the KMIT shotgun for outdoor directivity. Housed in a durable Pelican Case, this modular system allows boom operators to transition between environments in seconds using a single amplifier body, maintaining the brand's signature natural sound quality across any scenario.

SCHOEPS is expanding its Desert Island Set family with the Desert Island Boom Set: a compact kit built around the CMC 1 U microphone amplifier, the MK 41 supercardioid capsule, and the KMIT shotgun capsule, in the CMIT's signature blue finish, all in a robust Pelican Case.

CMC 1 U, MK 41 and KMIT — one case, two scenarios
The set reflects how boom operators actually work. Indoors, the MK 41 delivers the controlled pickup pattern and natural sound character that dialogue recording demands. Outside, the KMIT provides the additional directivity needed on location. One amplifier body, two capsules. Swap in seconds.

The Desert Island Boom Set will be available for an introductory price of $3,950.00 in the US.

"NAB is where the whole film audio community comes together: colleagues, fellow manufacturers, during show time & late nights. And this year we have something new to talk about." — Karin Fléing, Co-CEO, SCHOEPS
