Additional Information

The KMIT is the shotgun microphone capsule for the modular Colette series. It is directly derived from the CMIT series and inherits the same acoustic qualities, such as high directivity combined with low coloration of laterally arriving sound and a very gradually increasing directivity at higher frequencies. The KMIT, CMIT 5, and MiniCMIT can be interchanged without changing the sound. The KMIT is compatible with all amplifiers in the Colette series, such as the current analog amplifiers CMC 6 and CMC 1, as well as the digital amplifier CMD 42. With this, SCHOEPS offers for the first time a digital shotgun microphone that can be controlled via the Remote App.

The Schoeps KMIT capsule is a favored choice among audio professionals looking for high-fidelity sound reproduction in a compact and versatile package. If you have specific questions or need more detailed information, feel free to ask!
