The Schoeps MiniCMIT Mono WS Set is a miniature shotgun microphone with a windshield designed for mono recording of dialog and instruments indoors or outdoors in windy conditions. It includes a MiniCMIT miniature shotgun condenser microphone, Rycote windshield, removable windjammer, foam windscreen, and wood box.
The MiniCMIT boasts a wide frequency response, excellent off-axis rejection, and a fixed 24 dB/octave low-cut filter at 70 Hz. The included Rycote windshield provides effective protection against noise from wind, a shock-isolating Lyre mic mount, and a tidy exit for the integrated Mogami cable, in a compact enclosure.
Obtain the sonic characteristics of the highly regarded CMIT 5 in a compact and lightweight body with the blue Schoeps MiniCMIT short shotgun microphone, a top-tier performer for camera- or boompole-mounted use in film, TV, and location recording applications. Compliant with P12 and P48 phantom powering, the MiniCMIT can be used with professional and consumer devices.
A fixed 24 dB/octave low-cut filter at 70 Hz ensures that excessive boom noise and rumble will be kept under control. Special construction and filtering effectively inhibits interference from various sources such as radio, TV, and cellular frequencies.
The MiniCMIT's supercardioid/lobar polar pattern yields directional characteristics that smoothly increase at higher frequencies while providing low off-axis coloration for natural sound at all angles. With low self-noise, moderate sensitivity, and high SPL handling, the MiniCMIT delivers sonic performance deserving of premium mic preamps.
With directionality that increases smoothly at high frequencies and a 60 Hz to 20 kHz frequency response, the MiniCMIT is optimized for neutral, transparent capture of dialogue, foley, sound effects, and instruments. Considering its low self-noise of 14 dBA and moderate sensitivity of -35 dB, it performs best with a clean, high-gain mic preamp.
The Rycote Windshield Kit for Schoeps MiniCMIT incorporates a short, lightweight XLR connector, professional-quality Mogami cable, and patented Lyre technology. The kit allows you to choose an optimized solution, perfectly suited to the MiniCMIT. To fine-tune the overall suspension, based on the weight distribution of the mic, it features a 72-Shore single Lyre at the rear and a 62-Shore single Lyre at the front. The suspension Lyres and XLR-F connector end cap are colored blue, to match the coloring of the Schoeps microphone.
