This Schoeps MiniCMIT E-OSIX Set combines a MiniCMIT short shotgun microphone (blue) with a Cinela E-OSIX elastic suspension.

Obtain the sonic characteristics of the highly regarded CMIT 5 in a compact and lightweight body with the MiniCMIT short shotgun mic, 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.

Professional Sound Quality
The MiniCMIT features the same frequency response curve as the CMIT 5, allowing either microphone to be used without altering the sound. Thanks to a polar pattern that stays the same in the vertical and horizontal planes, the MiniCMIT produces consistent sound quality at any point of rotation.

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.
E-OSIX: Suspension with Elliptical Isolators
The E-OSIX is a modular elastic-suspension shockmount composed of an elliptical suspension module, a cable, a swivel, and an adjustment knob.

This MiniCMIT E-OSIX model is designed to be used without fur. Instead, use it with foam only for indoor shoots.

RFI Shield
The MiniCMIT utilizes special construction and filtering to provide a high standard of measurable immunity from radio-frequency interference (RFI) caused by sources such as switching power supplies, lighting controls, AM/FM radio, digital radio and TV, cellular phones, and broadband communications.
P12 or P48 Phantom Powered
The MiniCMIT features a balanced 3-pin XLR output, low current draw, and support for P12 and P48 phantom power, making it compatible with a variety of professional and consumer devices such as handheld audio recorders, portable field recorders, mixer adapters, and cinema cameras.
Ideal for Boompole or Camera Mounting
Mount the MiniCMIT directly on a stand or boompole using the supplied mic clip, affix it to a camera with an optional shoe shockmount such as the Rycote InVision Video, or place it in the separately available Rycote INV-6 InVision shockmount to prevent the transfer of vibrations to the microphone when attached to a boompole.
Windscreen Minimizes Wind Noise
The MiniCMIT includes a foam windscreen to reduce unwanted wind noise from breezes, fans, heaters, and air conditioners. For maximum reduction of wind noise in indoor or outdoor environments, consider the Rycote Cyclone Windshield Kit (Small) blimp-style windshield and suspension system (available separately).

Since the MiniCMIT lacks built-in filters, can anyone comment about this mic paired with the low cut filter in the Rycote Nano Windshield system?
Asked by: Danny
The Schoeps MiniCMIT Short Shotgun Microphone is compatible for use with the Rycote Nano Shield Windshield Kit NS2-CA for Microphones up to 6.1" Long (B&H # RYWKNS2CA264). The low-cut filter on the Nano Windshield should work effectively since it will function in line with the microphone.

question

anyone have a preferred softie windjammer for this mic that doesn't add too much bulk to it? lots of the ones listed for accessories here are for regular length shotguns. thanks
Asked by: noah
I have a Rycote Softie that says 21/22 on the end of it. it works fine. it's about 8" (9" with the fur), there might be a little space inside, but it doesn't affect anything. I also did purchase the Kit H# RY086072, the dead cat that comes with it does not fit the zeppelin. it is about 6" too long. I had to have wardrobe dept modify to make smaller. I was told they don't make one that actually fits the zep. the minicmit does come with a nice blue foam windscreen fyi.
