Three pushbutton-activated filters:
- High-frequency emphasis (+5 dB at 10 kHz)
- Steep low-cut filter (18 dB/oct. below 80 Hz)
- Gentle low-frequency rolloff (6 dB/oct. below 300 Hz)
A pair of LEDs next to each filter pushbutton indicates the status (in/out) of each filter—a practical feature that is truly unique for a microphone of this type.
- Weight: An amazing 3 1/8 ounces
- 48 Volt phantom powering
- Superior RF immunity
- Unusually low coloration of off-axis sound, for a shotgun
- Pickup pattern is consistent in both the horizontal and vertical planes (unlike some popular shotguns)
- Increased directivity at medium frequencies
- Less sensitive to wind noise than a Schoeps CMC 641
- Schoeps sound quality makes the microphone suitable for music recording as well as dialogue
- Beautiful, blue anodized all metal housing
Schoeps: Innovation redefined
The focus on outstanding high quality, reliability, and neutral, accurate sound has been the production philosophy of Schoeps microphones since 1948. The simple elegance and clever engineering of their products reflects a true passion for the art of microphone manufacturing and a tireless attention to detail. Schoeps is most famous for its Colette Modular Microphone System, the most extensive and versatile microphone system ever conceived. Introduced in the early seventies, the Colette System is still the heart of the Schoeps line today. It was the first of its kind, allowing the use of various active accessories between the capsule and amplifier body and is undoubtedly the standard to which all other small-diaphragm microphones are compared. The CMIT 5U continues in this tradition of superb quality, innovation and functionality that all Schoeps products share. |
Not your ordinary shotgun … For years Schoeps has declined requests to produce a shotgun type microphone. The company felt if they were going to produce a shotgun microphone, there had to be some level of uniqueness and improvement. Besides the über-cool push buttons and LEDs, this microphone produces a natural sound not thought possible with an interference-tube design. It is only fitting that they finally are offering one since Schoeps’ Technical Director Joerg Wuttke, the Project Manager of the CMIT 5U had studied with and assisted the inventor of the interference tube "shotgun" microphone, Professor Günther Kurtze. Countless location recordists already use a Schoeps CMC 641 supercardioid in conjunction with their favorite non-Schoeps shotgun to handle all their audio capture needs. For the first time, users can enjoy an audible cohesion between their venerable CMC 641 and their shotgun. |
