Cinela AL TRI 8000

Cinela ALBERT [AL TRI 8000]

The Cinela AL-TRI-8000 provides wind protection and suspension for an ORTF pair of Sennheiser MKH 8040 microphones plus an independent centre microphone, typically an MKH 8050. This allows a choice between stereo and the separate mono signal in post-production. It is not a conventional LCR array for direct playback through three speakers.

• Sliding outer suspensions for adjustable capsule spacing and angle.
• Removable centre suspension with detachable Binder connection, allowing conversion to pseudo-XY.
• Independently suspended basket and microphone mounts.
• SW-2AX two-axis swivel with a single locking knob for positioning.

Specifications and Compatibility

• Microphone positions: 3.
• ORTF: 17 cm capsule spacing and 110° angle; maximum adjustable spacing 20 cm.
• Original Sennheiser MZL connections: screw the microphone sections directly into the mounts with the MZX adapters removed.

Included

• ALBERT basket with fabric covering and additional long-pile synthetic fur cover.
• Three MINIX-8000 suspensions, including the removable centre module.
