Schoeps CMIT 5 Shotgun Microphone (Blue)

SGD 3,338.00

The CMIT 5 is SCHOEPS' renowned shotgun microphone that has set a new benchmark for shotgun mics since its debut. It offers smooth, increased directionality at higher frequencies, resulting in a balanced sonic character. The microphone also provides a gradual and steady decrease in sound level for off-axis sounds, ensuring neutral recording and minimizing movement effects during boom operation. Despite its compact size, the CMIT 5 boasts exceptional directionality. It can also be used for music recordings, such as operas.

The MiniCMIT, a similar model, delivers the features of the CMIT 5 in a more compact design, making it particularly suitable for use with digital wireless transmitters.

The sound quality of the CMIT 5 remains consistent even if the microphone is rotated on its axis, since its directional pattern is the same in both the vertical and horizontal planes.

Three pushbutton-activated filters allow the microphone to adapt to the recording situation:

High-frequency emphasis (+5 dB at 10 kHz) enhances speech intelligibility, and compensates for high-frequency loss caused by windscreens;
A steep low-cut filter (18 dB/oct. below 80 Hz) suppresses wind and boom noise;
A gentle low-frequency rolloff (6 dB/oct. below 300 Hz) compensates for proximity effect.

Pairs of LEDs next to each pushbutton indicate the status of the filters. Even in darkness the user can read the settings and see that the microphone is operational. The settings are retained when the microphone is switched off.

The capsule and amplifier of the CMIT 5 are built as a single unit, unlike microphones of the SCHOEPS Colette series.
