Schoeps CMIT 5

I use this as a pro foley artist after using Sennheisser and Neumann for a very long time (great microphones but wanted something different). This microphone has a really nice almost compression on the high end that makes it super smooth. Tends to over cook it on the low mids sometimes but with more considerate mic placement this is not an issue for me. Noise floor is absolutely fine with a pro preamp. The quick switch buttons for EQ are invaluable to my work, they sound so much better than EQing in a desk live or in post. Not that it really matters but I love the look if it too. Recordings made with it respond really well to aggressive EQ boosts in post which is remarkable. Its got a fantastic punch to it that really carves its way through dense sound mixes.
