## Overview

The Schoeps CMIT 5U Blue Shotgun Microphone offers exceptional directional control with a frequency range of 40Hz to 20kHz and a maximum SPL of 132dB. Featuring three customizable filters and a consistent polar pattern, it delivers pristine, broadcast-quality audio ideal for film, sports, and music recordings. Powered by 48V phantom power and built as a single capsule-amplifier unit, it’s the professional’s choice for uncompromising sound capture.

## Description

The Schoeps CMIT5U Blue Shotgun Microphone directionality increases smoothly with higher frequencies, which results in a very balanced sonic character. In addition, the microphone's sound level decreases softly yet steadily for off-axis sounds, allowing these to be recorded neutrally as well as reducing the effects of movement during boom operation. It also has a much stronger directionality than one might expect from a microphone of its length. If required, it can also be used for music recordings, for example opera recordings.The sound quality of the remains consistent even if the microphone is rotated on its axis, since its directional pattern is the same in both the vertical and horizontal planes. Three pushbutton-activated filters allow the microphone to adapt to the recording situation. High-frequency emphasis (+ 5 dB at 10 kHz) enhances speech intelligibility and compensates for high-frequency loss caused by windscreens. A steep low-cut filter (18 dB/oct. below 80 Hz) suppresses wind and boom noise. A gentle low-frequency rolloff (6 dB/oct. below 300 Hz) compensates for proximity effect. Pairs of LEDs next to each pushbutton indicate the status of the filters. Even in darkness the user can read the settings and see that the microphone is operational. The settings are retained when the microphone is switched off. The capsule and amplifier is built as a single unit, unlike microphones of the Schoeps "Colette" series.
