Description

The shotgun microphone MiniCMIT offers the characteristics of a CMIT 5 in more compact form. The MiniCMIT, CMIT 5 and SuperCMIT (ch2) have identical frequency response curves. Furthermore, the MiniCMIT and CMIT 5 have circuitry with similar characteristics, such that the microphones can be interchanged without altering the sound.

The MiniCMIT is recommended for use with digital transmitters such as the Audio Ltd. A10-TX for two reasons:

  • The MiniCMIT can use P12, which is more power-efficient.
