Cinela ALBERT Windshield for ORTF, XY Pair or 3-Channel

Description

In its basic version, the ALBERT Windshield consists of two MINIX microphones suspensions for Schoeps CCM or Sennheiser MKH 8000. Each microphone has to be naturally screwed in the connector inserted in the cradle.

The suspension mounting rail allows continuous adjustment of the distance and angle between capsules:

• AB ORTF pair: 2 x Cardioid, 17 cm, 110°
• AB omni pair: 2 x Omnidirectional, 20 cm max
• XY coincident pair: 2 x Cardioid, 0 cm, 90°
• Special pairs (example: Supercardioid, 20 cm max, 90°)

Version for threee Schoeps CCM

In the 3-channel version, the central suspension is easily mounted and removed. The microphone cable is provided with a Binder plug ending.

Wished by many users, the center microphone doesn’t respect academic rules, but allows more convenience in post production.

XY Mounting

Version for Sennheiser MKH 8000

Like the Schoeps CCM, the Sennheiser original connectors (2 or 3 mikes) are inserted in the cradle for a direct screwing of the microphone head.

Version for Schoeps ORTF MSTC

Because of the very special MSTC dimensions, the capsules are slightly offset from their ideal positions

• 5-pin XLRM (two channels) or 7-pin XLRM (three channels)

Long hair fur

In case of high wind, the ALBERT windshield can be housed with its two tone fur cover.

However, to achieve the maximum respect for the acoustic characteristics and limit the weight and bulk, it is recommended to use this fur only when necessary!
