Short description:

Digital Shotgun Microphone (With PSD 2 U Power Supply)

01-MIC-RIF-012

The  SCHOEPS SUPER CMIT 2U/PSD : DIGITAL SHOTGUN MIC is incorporates a unique design and approach to minimizing extraneous noise, increasing range and retaining the transparency and integrity of the source audio. The SuperCMIT features a dual output signal, coupled with digital signal processing for excellent noise diffusion and pristine transparency.

In addition the microphone features a low-frequency roll-off switch, high frequency gain switch and increased directivity switch for maximizing range. The Schoeps SuperCMIT is at home on a boompole or pistol grip mount, and is very well suited for ENG / EFP, broadcast applications, audio for video and motion picture, sound design applications and more.

___________________________________________________

The SuperCMIT defines a new type of shotgun microphone. Its directivity goes well beyond that of conventional shotguns, even those with long interference tubes. It offers completely new possibilities for the sound engineer.

The SuperCMIT is a digital microphone (AES42 standard). This standard is supported by many present-day mobile recorders as well as some mixing boards.

  • Innovative, digital shotgun microphone with increased directivity, based on the analog CMIT 5
  • Exceptional suppression of diffuse sound
  • Completely new functional principle based on two transducers
  • Patented DSP algorithms from ILLUSONIC
  • Two-channel output: SuperCMIT signal on channel 1, with unprocessed (CMIT) signal on channel 2
  • SCHOEPS sound quality: transparent sound despite high directivity

The DSP in the SuperCMIT detects discrete sound from different directions and whether the sound has a discrete, permanent direction. The algorithm also detects diffuse sound from all directions. This information is used to suppress diffuse sound and to focus on discrete sound.

This allows the range of the microphone to be increased significantly - without the typical artifacts in sound colour. The SuperCMIT is the world's first microphone that combines high directivity with high sound quality.

The SuperCMIT 2 U has three buttons that enable/disable the filters and presets of the microphone. The two filters are identical to those of the analog tube CMIT 5 U: high-frequency emphasis (+5 dB at 10 kHz) compensates the attenuation of wind shields; the steep low-cut (18 dB/octave from 80 Hz) suppresses low-frequency wind and boom noises.

While the unprocessed CMIT signal is always at the output on channel 2, channel 1 is the output of the SuperCMIT. A preset button determines its directivity. Two positions are possible:

  • Preset 1: Moderate increase of the directivity and attenuation of the diffuse sound by 11dB (5dB more than the SCHOEPS CMIT 5U or channel 2 of the SuperCMIT)
  • Preset 2: The attenuation of the diffuse sound is 15 dB. This position is reserved for special applications - in some cases artifacts are possible.

The gain can be raised by +30 dB by double-clicking on all three buttons.

For the SuperCMIT, two power supplies are available, which are needed if the recording device doesn't support AES42.

- PSD 2U: digital 10V phantom power, AES3 output

- MiniDA42: digital 10V phantom power, AES3 output, 2 analog outputs.
