Schoeps MiniCMIT blue

Small shotgun microphone for live sound

• Compact shotgun microphone for film, 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
• Compatible with P48 and P12 phantom power supply
• Low current consumption, ideal for digital transmitters
• Advanced Schoeps RFI Shield
• Blue finish

The Schoeps MiniCMIT Blue is a compact shotgun microphone designed for 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 and lighter format, ideal for situations where maximum maneuverability is required.

The microphone features the same frequency response as the CMIT 5 and SuperCMIT (channel 2), allowing it to be used interchangeably without altering the sonic character of the recording. This makes it particularly suitable for professional productions where tonal consistency between different microphones is critical.

Schoeps MiniCMIT: compact shotgun for cinema and broadcast

With its short length and light weight, the MiniCMIT is perfect for use on booms, compact rigs and portable systems. 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 effectively reduce low-frequency noise such as boom vibrations, wind noise and ambient interference.

Ideal for digital transmitters

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

These features make the MiniCMIT an ideal choice for film productions, documentaries, television, and professional field recording applications.
