Dear Customer:
Congratulations on the purchase of your
SCHOEPS
CMIT 5 U shotgun microphone.
To get the most out of your microphone,
there are a few basic principles you should
consider. This guide covers these principles,
followed by some notes on wind and over-
load, as well as caring for your microphone.
Technical data is provided in the appendix.
Unique Features of the CMIT 5 U
The CMIT 5 U is a classic condenser micro-
phone (pressure gradient microphone) with an
acoustic interference tube arranged in front of
it. In the midrange and high-frequency range,
this results in greater off-axis rejection than
with supercardioids, the most strongly direc-
tional “short” microphones. The result is a
lobe-shaped polar pattern.
The CMIT 5 U stands out for:
– its interference tube, which takes effect at a
relatively low frequency without the pickup
pattern becoming too narrow at high fre-
quencies,
– its excellent sound quality (making it a great
all-purpose microphone, even for use as a
spot microphone at music recordings, for
example),
– its very light weight,
– its great immunity to wind noise,
– a directional pattern which remains the same
in both the vertical and horizontal plane,
– three pushbutton-activated filters,
– a balanced, low-impedance transformerless
output, which allows interference-free oper-
ation even with very long cables
– superior RF rejection
