Cinela Pianissimo XLR5 Windshield for the Sennheiser MKH 8018 Stereo Shotgun Microphone.
- The Cinela PIANI-2-8018-V is the 'Versatile' adaptation of the Pianissimo windshield for Sennheiser's MKH 8018 stereo mic.
- The Cinela PIANI-2-8018-D Windshield for Sennheiser MKH 8018 (MS, XY) is the 'Dedicated' version: direct cable XLR5F to XLR5M, without Binder Holder (XLR3 wiring is not possible).
PIANISSIMO, little sister of PIANO, has followed the evolution of the semi-gun microphones tending to have a reduced electronic part (e.g. Schoeps MiniCMIT, DPA 4017C,…) or any microphone under 21cm (Sennheiser MKH50, Schoeps CMC6).
It keeps the same principle of ovoid suspended cage, with an elliptical section slightly smaller than PIANO.
Like PIANO, the PIANISSIMO cage cannot be removed, for the benefit of the lightness and quality of the cage suspension feature. Due to its more recent design, PIANISSIMO gains in versatility compared to PIANO.
Designed in parallel with the E-OSIX suspensions, it accepts a wider variety of suspension modules than the PIANO. It also offers a wide range of MS, DMS and XY stereo combinations with many more customizable configurations than the PIANO.
