Schoeps - KMIT, CMIT capsule for Colette series

The KMIT is the shotgun microphone capsule for the modular Colette series. It is derived directly from the CMIT series, inheriting the same acoustical qualities such as high directivity combined with low coloration of lateral-incident sound, and very smoothly increasing directivity at higher frequencies. The KMIT, CMIT 5 and MiniCMIT can be interchanged without altering the sound.

The KMIT is compatible with all amplifiers of the Colette series, e.g. with the current analog amplifiers CMC 6 and CMC 1 as well as the digital amplifier CMD 42. Thus, SCHOEPS now offers for the first time a digital shotgun microphone that can be controlled via the Remote App.

The KMIT's sound quality is the same as that of the CMIT 5/MiniCMIT, apart from slight differences in high-pass filtering that depend on which amplifier is being used. The choice among CMC 6, CMC 1 U/L or CMD 42 will mostly be determined by practical circumstances - the size and weight of the setup, and the availability of an AES42 input.

Among the analog amplifiers, Schoeps generally recommends the CMC 1 due to its small size, optimal interference protection, and high maximum sound levels. The CMC 1 L amplifier with miniature Lemo connector...
