Cinela PIA-1

The Cinela PIA-1 is a high-efficiency windshield designed for mid-sized shotgun microphones, such as the Schoeps CMIT 5U, SuperCMIT, Sennheiser MKH60, MKH416, Neumann KMR81, and others up to 28 cm in length. Its unique geometry ensures high acoustic transparency with minimal coloration, while providing substantial wind noise attenuation.

Key features of the PIA-1 include:

• Suspended Cage Design: Minimizes noise transmission from the boom to the microphone, enhancing ease of use for boom operators.
• Integrated Elastic Suspension: Equipped with a CINELA OSIX-type elastic suspension, it effectively isolates the microphone from vibrations, reducing handling noise.
• Lightweight Construction: One of the lightest windshields in its size category, facilitating easy handling and mounting.
• Compatibility: Suitable for various mid-sized shotgun microphones, including the Schoeps CMIT 5U, SuperCMIT, Sennheiser MKH60, MKH416, and Neumann KMR81.
• Ease of Use: Allows for quick microphone installation and easy fur cover changes, enhancing operational efficiency.

The PIA-1 package typically includes the windshield, a mono suspension module, complete wiring tailored to the microphone configuration, a primary fabric cover suitable for light wind or indoor use, a fur cover (available in short or long pile), and a polycarbonate transport case. This windshield is ideal for professional film and video productions, as well as for dramas and documentaries, where high-quality wind and vibration protection are essential for capturing clear audio.
