Schoeps MiniCMIT DMS Pianissimo Set Double Mid-Side Condenser Microphone Trio with Basket-Type Windscreen

The Schoeps MiniCMIT DMS Pianissimo Set is a trio of Schoeps condenser microphones with a windscreen set designed for double mid-side recording of dialog and instruments indoors or outdoors in windy conditions. It includes a MiniCMIT miniature shotgun microphone, a CCM 4 Lg cardioid mic, a CCM 8 Lg figure-8 microphone, a Cinela PIANI-3 basket-type windscreen set with a long-pile fur cover, a wood box, an XLR 7-pin extension, and a break-out cable that converts an XLR 7-pin to three XLR 3-pin jacks.

The microphones boast wide frequency responses, excellent off-axis rejection, and compact bodies. The included Cinela windscreen set is acoustically transparent and offers significant vibration isolation and wind-noise reduction.

An integrated cable system merges the individual mic outputs to an XLR 7-pin jack. Connect the XLR 7-pin output to the supplied XLR 7-pin extension and breakout cable, which converts an XLR 7-pin to three XLR 3-pin connectors. From there, you can easily route signal to your preferred mic preamps.

• MiniCMIT Miniature Shotgun Microphone (Blue)

  The blue Schoeps MiniCMIT is a miniature shotgun microphone designed to provide the characteristics of standard CMIT mic in a short and lightweight body. Delivering accurate close and distant capture of dialog and musical instruments, it is ideal for boom operators, audio engineers, and musicians in film, television, and video production as well as music recording applications. Its supercardioid/lobe-shaped polar pattern yields precise directionality, high immunity to wind noise, and low coloration at the off-axis sections of the capsule. An integrated RFI shield yields enhanced rejection of radio-frequency interference.

  The MiniCMIT features the same frequency response as the CMIT 5, allowing either microphone to be used without altering the sound. A fixed 24 dB/octave low-cut filter at 70 Hz prevents proximity effect and build-up of low frequencies. It supports P12 and P48 phantom powering with low current draw and utilizes an XLR 3-pin output for compatibility with most microphone preamps. The MiniCMIT microphone includes a foam windscreen and a swivel-type stand clamp.

  Offers the tonal characteristics of the CMIT 5 in a lightweight body less than 6" long

  Fixed 4th-order (24 dB/octave) low-cut filter at 70 Hz

  Works on a variety of phantom power voltages

  Integrated RFI shield rejects interference from radio frequencies

• CCM8 LG Figure-Eight Compact Microphone

  The Schoeps CCM8 is a miniature figure-eight microphone with detachable cable. The figure-eight pattern design provides a bi-directional pickup that is almost completely identical at all frequencies. The figure-eight pattern is also useful in M/S stereo capturing.

  Figure-Eight Polar Pattern

  The capsule is a pure pressure-gradient transducer with a figure-8 pattern. The bi-directional pattern is almost completely identical at all frequencies

  Detachable K5 LU Cable

  This version of the CCM4 features a detachable cable allowing easier microphone interchanging and placement.

  Off-Axis High Frequency Rejection

  The CCM4 provides exceptional high frequency rejection at the off-axis sections of the capsule.

  Wide Linear Frequency Response

  The wide frequency response ensures accurate detail regardless of the source signal.

• CCM4 LG Cardioid Compact Microphone

  The Schoeps CCM4 is a miniature cardioid microphone with detachable cable. The radial design is a direct result of the demand for a cardioid capsule where the maximum pick up occurs on the side as opposed to the front (top) of the capsule.

  The acoustically transparent housing is particularly effective in reducing high frequency signal energy at the off-axis sections of the capsule, a common problem among standard cardioid elements. The linear frequency response features a slight rise at 10kHz, which enhances presence and intelligibility. The cardioid lateral pick up and high frequency response characteristics render the CCM4 more than viable for speech, general instrument capturing, mono and stereo ambiance capturing.

  Radial Pick-up Design

  Lateral cardioid pick up pattern is the result of a design that enables the maximum pick up response to occur on the side of the capsule.

  Detachable K5 LU Cable

  This version of the CCM4 features a detachable cable allowing easier microphone interchanging and placement.

  Off-Axis High Frequency Rejection

  The CCM4 provides exceptional high frequency rejection at the off-axis sections of the capsule.

  Wide Linear Frequency Response

  The wide frequency response ensures accurate detail regardless of the source signal.

  High Frequency Rise

  A slight rise in frequency response occurs at around 10kHz. The result is greater presence and intelligibility.

• 16.4' XLR-7 Multicore Extension Cable

  The 16.4' (5.0m) KDMS 5U XLR-7 Multicore Extension Cable from Schoeps is for three balanced signals and is used as an extension cable especially for double M/S.

   

   

• AK DMS 3U Adapter Cable

  The AK DMS 3U Adapter Cable from Schoeps is used with the Schoeps "Surround Sets" for the Double M/S system. An XLR-7M output connector carries the signals from all three microphones (front mid, figure-8 and rear mid); the AK DMS 3U then splits the three signals out again.
