Shoeps CCM 22 L – Microphone cardioïde

I’ve been using this mic for outdoor interviews, and the cardioid pattern really helps isolate the subject’s voice from wind and traffic noise. The sound is crisp without being overly boosted. It’s surprisingly practical for a small backup microphone.

The compact body and light weight make it ideal for quick run-and-gun setups; I barely notice it on the boom. Audio quality is crisp and clean, just what I needed for dialogue-heavy interviews.

The directivity pattern sits perfectly between the CCM 4 and CCM 21, so I get that tight focus without losing the room's natural ambience. It’s light enough to clip onto a boom without any noticeable fatigue, and the sound stays clean even when I’m moving fast.
