Dear Customer:
Congratulations on the purchase of your
SCHOEPS CMIT 5 U shotgun microphone.
To get the m o s t out o f 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
