Uniform directivity and minimal coloration

Thanks to the rotationally symmetrical polar pattern, the sound remains unchanged when the microphone is turned. Sound coming from the side is reduced gently and without coloration - ideal when precise placement is not always possible when fishing or at Set .

Flexibly adaptable with three switchable filters

The CMIT 5 has three filters that can be activated at the touch of a button to adapt the microphone optimally to any situation:

• Treble boost (+5 dB at 10 kHz) for greater speech intelligibility and compensation for wind attenuation
• Steep low-frequency filter (18 dB/oct. from 80 Hz) against impact sound and low-frequency interference
• Proximity filter (300 Hz, 6 dB/oct.) to reduce the proximity effect

Lightweight, robust and weatherproof

The extremely lightweight (95 g) housing made of high-quality metal makes the CMIT 5 the perfect choice for mobile applications on a boom or tripod. Thanks to the latest generation, it is also moisture-resistant and protected against RF interference by the proven SCHOEPS RFI Shield.

Also ideal for music recordings

Thanks to its exceptional sound neutrality and ability to capture fine details, the CMIT 5 is not only used in film and sports , but is also appreciated by music producers for orchestral and ensemble recordings.

Available in two elegant colors

The CMIT 5 is available in elegant blue as standard and can be ordered in anthracite gray here - perfectly matched to different camera or stage settings.
