Schoeps CMIT 5U MATCHED PAIR - Consecutive Serials 3252 & 3255

MATCHED PAIR of Schoeps CMIT 5U shotgun microphones, consecutive serials No. 3252 and No. 3255 - $3,950 for the pair. Each comes in its own MacArthur Group protective storage tube.

BOUGHT TOGETHER, RUN TOGETHER. These two were purchased new as a pair and worked alongside each other on serious feature and television production for their entire working life. Serials three apart. If you are running two booms or want a genuine backup that behaves identically to your A mic, that is worth something you cannot get from two random used bodies.

CONDITION: EXCELLENT. Both mics function perfectly - all three filters and their LED indicators work on each. Interference tube slots and capsule grilles are clean and undamaged, no dents, no crushed sections. XLR pins are clean and bright. Light handling marks consistent with careful professional use, nothing more.

THE STORAGE TUBES - MacArthur Group, not the stock Schoeps vials. Each mic comes in a heavy clear MacArthur Group tube built specifically for shotgun microphones. Padded end plugs with dedicated compartments in the caps for silica gel. The desiccant lives in the end caps rather than rattling loose against the body.
