Cardioid Shotgun Microphone  CMIT 5 U

Sometimes you're probably in a situation that you have to record the dialogue outdoors, and the ambient noise level is high. Cardioid microphones, although the maximum drive do not work. What then? -You can use shotgum Schoeps CMIT 5 U microphones.

Weight	89 g

Basic data:

• unusually low coloration of off-axis sound

• suitable for music recording as well as dialogue

• rotationally symmetrical polar patter

• even greater immunity to wind noise than a SCHOEPS supercardoid

• very lightweight, robust all-metal housing

Built-in filters:

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 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.

Accesories in the set:

Wooden case,
swivel grip
foam-type windscreen.

ADDITIONAL ACCESSORIES:

Flexible arm with a pistol grip.
Windcreens: fur-like "overcoat" for stronger wind and basket-type windscreen with fur covering - for a really strong wind.

Capsule and the microphone amplifier CMIT 5 U is embedded in a module, as opposed to a series of microphones Schoeps "Colette".
