Thank you so much for your video! Very helpful. I made the mistake of buying a 15.5 inch Audio-Technica Condenser Microphone (BP4071) for my new camcorder and didn't even think of it, but it is in the shot unless I zoom up quite a bit.. I wanted the cmc641 for indoor recording.. But a shotgun mic for outside. I think I will just get the CMIT5u and use for both indoor and outdoor.. The only thing I noticed was close up recording sounded terrible with cmit5u vs 641. But 2 feet away they both sound the same to me..
The Schoeps cmit 5u is a fantastic microphone ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - not only for voice recording in the studio/field but also for recording acoustic instruments. In many ways it has the same sound/capabilities of a large diaphragm mic.
Thanks a lot for this test. I love Schoeps! Actually they are one hour away from where I live. But I never had a CMIT to test. Have to change that soon:-))) All the best 🙂
I think not many own a variety of mic and compare them haha. But actually if you don’t need the ability to swap between full range or high pass, the mini cmit maybe even nicer haha
I'm hoping to buy the CMIT 5U soon but the only concern I have is how prone it is to moisture, very little people seem to cover that question, I'm from Scotland so it's constantly raining or humid and i'm an outdoor shooter mainly in poor weather conditions, do you think it's sturdy enough for my climate or is there a better option for me in terms of excellent quality and protection!
I think DPA and Sennheiser are more stable in humid environment. But my friend used my MiniCMIT for a few shoots and dont have any issues. We are based in Singapore and its all year round really humid. I think unless its bathroom or really long period in a rainforest or water directly getting on it then its a issue.
Np, Hope you find it useful! Its just hard to get videos on this high end mics. Pretty much the reason why I started this test and sometime the results are rather interesting.
I’m shooting a short documentary inside an artists studio and do not have budget for a boom operator so I have to mount a mic onto my c200 when following the subject. Do you think it would be better to go with something like the CM641 or stick with the NTG3 I already own?
@@petero1068 it requires a special amp that outputs more power and a different standard. Only 8 series for sound device and high end recorder has it if I’m not wrong

Well done for testing in other rooms great presentation and tests!

the best mics! love them
Yup. They sound lovely really!
@@ZPProductions i'm a sound recordist, and i really appreciate your efforts making this comparison video!!

@@ZPProductions your channel definitely has lots pretty cool stuff!! i wonder why i didn't discover it earlier. please keep it up!
Haha. Just look around then. I just want to test all the high end stuff once for my own curiosity haha.

Outdoor use a shotgun your current ntg3
Would love to hear the CMIT 2U
That will be a really Low chance since I don’t have a digital field recorder hmm
@@ZPProductions can’t you just use the mix pre 3 with 32bit?
@@petero1068 it requires a special amp that outputs more power and a different standard. Only 8 series for sound device and high end recorder has it if I’m not wrong
@@ZPProductions I see. I thought the new MixPre series coupled with the MINI-DA42 adaptor would be enough
Oh with the adapter yes it will work. If just the 2u will need a special aes42 mic pre amp which only exist in high end recorders
How are you powering them?
Mixpre II
Any chance you can do a CMC41 vs BP4053?
You mean at4053? I have a comparison somewhere for it
