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.
