Schoeps MiniCMIT, Chroma Green

Compact shotgun microphone for direct take cinema and broadcast - chroma green

• Compact shotgun microphone for cinema, broadcast and direct-take
• Sound characteristics of the CMIT 5 in a more compact format
• Supercardioid polar pattern with front lobe
• Fixed low-cut filter at 70 Hz to reduce low-frequency noise
• Compatible with P48 and P12 phantom power supply
• Low current consumption ideal for digital transmitters
• Advanced Schoeps RFI Shield shielding against RF interference
• Chroma Green finish version

The Schoeps MiniCMIT Chroma Green is a compact shotgun microphone designed for professional direct-take applications in film, television and broadcast. The MiniCMIT offers the same sound characteristics as the popular Schoeps CMIT 5, but in a shorter, lighter format that makes it ideal for compact setups and dynamic shooting.

The frequency response of the MiniCMIT is identical to that of the CMIT 5 and SuperCMIT (channel 2), allowing these microphones to be used interchangeably without altering the sonic character of the recording. This consistency of timbre is particularly important in professional film and television productions.

Schoeps MiniCMIT Chroma Green: compact shotgun for film and broadcast

With its short length and extremely low weight, the MiniCMIT is perfect for use on booms, compact cameras or in mobile setups. The front-lobe supercardioid polar pattern ensures precise directionality and clear pickup of the main sound source.

The microphone incorporates a fixed 70 Hz low-cut filter with fourth-order slope (24 dB/octave), designed to reduce low-frequency noise such as boom vibrations, wind noise and ambient interference.

Optimized for digital transmitters

The MiniCMIT is especially suitable for use with digital transmitters such as the Sound Devices A20-TX. P12 power supply support enables more efficient power consumption, while the latest version of the Schoeps RFI Shield provides effective protection from radio interference.

These features make the MiniCMIT an excellent choice for film productions, documentaries, television, and professional outdoor audio recordings.
