With the supplied magnet accessories, it can be easily mounted on many surfaces, e.g. door frames, steel beams, windows, table tops, and more. The CMC 1 KV LSD features a 1.64' permanently attached, side-exit cable terminated with a 3-pin LEMO connector wired for Sound Devices A10 bodypack transmitters. It is compatible with all existing MK mic capsules and Colette active accessories (all available separately).

Presented as an alternative to the renowned Schoeps CMC 6 amplifier, the CMC 1 KV LSD offers uncompromising high fidelity in a lightweight and ultracompact form factor. It operates on 12 or 48V phantom power from the transmitter and features low current consumption. Its Schoeps RFI Shield provides high immunity from RF interference for a clean, low-noise signal. The CMC 1 KV LSD supports the high maximum SPLs tolerated by the various MK mic capsules.

Q: 5. What is a good schock mount/suspension holder to fit this microphone? I realize this mic is predominantly used indoors, but if I am in a situation where I need to use it outside, what product to reduce wind effect will fit this mic?

A: I have a Rycote Blimp with a lyre mount for bad windy conditions and the usual dead kittens for general breezes. But you said it yourself, this is an indoor mic. Moreover, it is a short mic so not so great at a distance of more than a few feet unless you have an amplified audio target. If you have critical audio needs outdoors, your better bet is to rent a good shotgun mic or buy something like the Sennheiser 416, Sanken Cs3, or Schoeps CMIT if you want to go all in. I have used the CMC6 outdoors (without needing a blimp). If you can get in close, it's OK but at say four or five feet, I don't know that the 'Schoeps' difference is any longer in effect. These weren't scientific shootouts and audio environments vary but I suspect plain old microphone physics trump German engineering at a certain distance.

Q: 6. Does this work with Sennheiser MKH 8060?

A: The Rycote Windshield Kit for Schoeps MiniCMIT is designed for use with the Schoeps MiniCMIT Short Shotgun Microphone, which has a slightly different physical form factor than the Sennheiser MKH 8060 Shotgun Microphone. A more preferable windshield product for the MKH 8060 is the Rycote Modular Windshield WS 1 Kit MZL for the Sennheiser MKH 8060 Microphone (BH #RYMWS1MZLKIT): https://bhpho.to/3NPFL44
