Schoeps KMIT SHOTGUN Overview

Enhance the directivity and reach of your Colette-Series modular microphone while maintaining its pristine sound quality with the Schoeps KMIT, a microphone capsule featuring an interference tube. Derived from the renowned CMIT series, the KMIT boasts acoustical characteristics identical to the MiniCMIT and the CMIT 5 (known by many in the industry as the "Blue One").

The KMIT is fully compatible with all amplifiers of the Colette series including the CMC 6 and CMC 1 analog amplifiers as well as the CMD 42 digital amplifier. With the CMD 42, the KMIT can be used as a digital shotgun microphone, which can be seamlessly controlled via the Schoeps Remote App, offering precise adjustments. For convenient boom operation, the KMIT includes a built-in, steep low-cut filter, ensuring optimal performance in demanding audio environments. Immune to moisture, the capsule can be used outdoors under changing conditions.

A W140 foam windscreen (blue) and premium storage case are included.

Derived Directly from the CMIT Series
  • KMIT delivers the same trademark sound of the CMIT Series including high directivity combined with low coloration of lateral-incident sound and very smoothly increasing directivity at higher frequencies.
  • The KMIT, CMIT 5, and MiniCMIT can be interchanged without altering the sound.
