Schoeps MiniCMIT + Rycote MiniCMIT Windshield Kit Bundle

The Schoeps MiniCMIT bundle pairs the short shotgun with the Rycote windshield kit built specifically for it. Rycote tuned the suspension to the MiniCMIT’s weight distribution with a firmer 72-Shore Lyre at the rear and a softer 62-Shore Lyre at the front. It also sized the basket to the mic’s short body, so the full windshield stays small and light on the boom. The blue Lyres and XLR end cap match the Schoeps finish, and the kit is ready to use out of the box.

The Schoeps MiniCMIT brings the sound of the CMIT 5 to a body only 151 mm long and 78 g. It uses the same interference tube and frequency response curve as the CMIT 5 and SuperCMIT, with circuitry similar enough to the CMIT 5 that the two can be intercut without a change in sound. Its supercardioid and lobar pattern narrows smoothly as frequency rises, colors off-axis sound very little, and sounds the same when the mic is rotated on its axis. Specifications include a 60 Hz to 20 kHz range, a fixed 70 Hz low-cut at 24 dB per octave, 14 dB-A self-noise, 17 mV/Pa sensitivity, and 130 dB SPL maximum on P48. It also runs on lower-power P12 and has the latest Schoeps RFI Shield against radio interference, so it works well with digital wireless transmitters. Schoeps supplies it with a W 140 foam windscreen and an SG 20 stand clamp.

The Rycote MiniCMIT Windshield Kit is part of Rycote’s “Perfect For” range, kits optimized for specific microphones. It combines patented Lyre suspension, a Rycote basket windshield, a short and lightweight XLR connector, and professional-quality Mogami cable in a compact 280 mm long, 100 mm diameter package that weighs 338 g. The kit includes a Windjammer 1, a spare 72-Shore Lyre, a 260 mm XLR-3M to angled XLR-3F cable, a 3/8-inch boom-pole adapter, a brush, and a sticker.
