I just wanted to put in writting my appreciation for everything your company has done for me recently. The replacement for my 664 mixer arrived today and is working perfectly. Please pass on my thanks to Matt for his patience, expert help and the guidance he has provided despite me phoning, in a panic, from various locations around the world. Thanks to you all for going beyond the call of duty, the level of service has been absolutely fantastic!
The Cinela Cosi Modular Windshield is a new lightweight fur windshield designed for use in light to moderate wind speeds. For strong winds, it is recommended using a full basket windshield solution, such as the Piano & Pianissimo.
Microphone compatibility:
Schoeps CMC1 with or without CUT60 (Using the CMC1 with the CUT60 is highly recommended)
Rumble Filtering:
As any other suspension/windshield, COSI needs the use of a good rumble filter (Very low end handling noise). Typically 50/70 Hz with a +18dB/oct slope (3rd order filter).
Many mixers/recorders only offers +12dB/oct filters (2nd order). Then it may be a little compromise.
Avoid microphones with +6dB/oct filters (1st order).
Many microphones are very rich in the Low End (MKH8000 or DPA with C preamp). These ones need a high slope filter.
Schoeps MiniCMIT offers a very convenient in-built +24dB/oct filter (4th order) !
Definitely the best against handling rumbles ! Absolutely no need for any other filter ! Best choice for “uncertain” inputs (cameras, DSLR).
