The Schoeps CMIT 5 is a lightweight analogue shotgun microphone for film, broadcast, documentary and location recording, with unusually natural off-axis sound.
Three switchable filters provide a steep low-cut, a gentle low-frequency roll-off and a high-frequency lift for use with wind protection. Its 95g body keeps boom rigs responsive.
