Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Will this fit to audio Technica 4053b ?

A: Although specified for another microphone, the Rycote Windshield Kit for Schoeps MiniCMIT should also accommodate the Audio-Technica AT4053b Hypercardioid Condenser Microphone, as its physical dimensions are almost identical to the Schoeps MiniCMIT this product is designed for.

Q: 2. Will this foam windscreen properly fit a blue yeti microphone? if not, which will?

A: The Auray WCF-UB440 will fit the Blue Yeti. However, a pop filter is recommended as it will protect you from plosives and sibilance without affecting the frequency response of the mic as a foam windscreen would. The Auray PFSS-55 is a solid recommendation. a href= http://bhpho.to/1rgFOFB target= _blank http://bhpho.to/1rgFOFB/a

Q: 3. Can it fit BLUE YETI ?

A: Yes, the Auray WCF-UB440 foam windscreen can be used with the Blue Yeti.

Q: 4. Will this fit the Rode NTG5 ?

A: The W 140 foam windscreen is designed for use with the Schoeps CMIT5U and MiniCMIT microphones which both have a 21mm diameter while the NTG5 has a 19mm diameter, so the windscreen may be too loose. The W 140 is 5" long and the diameter for compatible microphones is listed as 41 to 50mm (Schoeps has confirmed that this information for the diameter measurement is correct, though it does seem unusual). We have not tested the W 140 on the NTG5. Since the chroma green W 140 is a special order item that is not returnable, you may want to hold off and test out one of the black or blue W 140 windscreens first, which are eligible for return. You may also want to try contacting Rode to ask if they have a chroma green foam windscreen available that will fit. You can reach Rode by phone at 562-364-7400. Their US offices are based in California.

Q: 5. Will this fit Audio-Technica AT2035?

A: Yes, it will fit.

Q: 6. Will this fit to Se Electronix x1s mic?

A: Yes, the Auray WCF-UB440 windscreen will fit on the sE Electronics X1 S mic.

Q: 7. Since the MiniCMIT lacks built-in filters, can anyone comment about this mic paired with the low cut filter in the Rycote Nano Windshield system?

A: The Schoeps MiniCMIT Short Shotgun Microphone is compatible for use with the Rycote Nano Shield Windshield Kit NS2-CA for Microphones up to 6.1" Long (B&H # RYWKNS2CA264). The low-cut filter on the Nano Windshield should work effectively since it will function in line with the microphone.

Q: 8. 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

Q: 9. anyone have a preferred softie windjammer for this mic that doesn't add too much bulk to it? lots of the ones listed for accessories here are for regular length shotguns. thanks

A: Given its extremely small size, presently there is no softie windjammer available. The best way to shield the Schoeps MiniCMIT against wind noise is by using a windshield kit; BH# RY086072.

Q: 10. Would this Rycote Windshield Kit accommodate the DPA 4017C combination?

A: Yes, this will be compatible. The 4017C with preamp is just slightly longer (0.12") than the CMIT mini.

[0.1 lb] Well if I had to choose one Mic this would be it! 5

[6 x 2.4 x 2"] Can't say much about Schoeps's windscreens as their mics came from HEAVEN! 5

[Foam] Camera operator loves the great visibility of this windscreen. Also, VFX people will save a dollar or two removing the mic from their shots. 5

[0.1 lb] Using it on a DPA 4017B Sounds great! Isolation is better than the stock foam Color is funky 5

John	09/06/2024
[6 x 2.4 x 2"] I try to get the real thing when it comes to gear. After having a couple cheaper windscreens decompose after a short time, I continue to get foam windscreens and pop windscreens made by Schoeps. They are just better, plus I get a couple cool schoeps stickers on the bag the come in and I keep them in. 5

[0.1 lb] It performes better than the original windscreen. It is well worth the money 5

Tony	23/04/2024
[0.1 lb] Even though these are larger than the originals; they perform great. Excellent clarity and very little popping from different speakers with a variety of vocal ranges. 5

[Foam] All my go to microphones for field location audio are first and foremost Schoeps. I have a pair of Schoeps cmc641s and snagged a cmit5u when it was first introduced. I was in the market for adding a second cmit5u and saw that the miniCMIT had just been released. So glad I waited for this newer version. It's size makes it incredibly versatile in tight locations. It's lighter in weight than its big brother (cmit5u) but has the same sonic quality. The only thing you give up on the mini model is some of the filter options. I've used this on multiple shoots and interviews and it is a stellar microphone. The one thing I appreciate most about Schoeps microphones is the overall lack of coloration. Once I'm back in my studio listening to playback I can close my eyes and it's like the talent is sitting there right next to me speaking clear, uncolored, natural audio. That being said there is a lot of buzz about Schoeps microphones being susceptible to humidity causing the mic to motorboat. I have only had this happen once with my cmit5u in an extremely humid interior interview. For that reason I highly recommend you always have on hand a microphone that is impervious to humidity and moisture (Rode NTG-3, Sennheiser MKH 50, Sennheiser MKH 416 or whatever you prefer). But otherwise all my Schoeps have performed well in some very humid environments. If I were headed to the Amazon Rain Forest or somewhere incredibly wet and humid I would leave all my Schoeps at home and go with a sure thing that could endure that much moisture. And yes, there are times I will choose another mic for very specific reasons dictated by the room or the talent's voice, but otherwise I'm swinging a Schoeps on my pole at least 95% of the time. Money well spent. 5
