Care of the SuperCMIT
Please make certain that the microphone is
never used in a dusty environment, and that
after use it is kept in a closed container such
as the supplied wooden case, since its func-
tioning can be affected if dust gets into the
microphone.
What to do if ...
the microphone is noisy in high humidity?
If condenser microphones are used in high
humidity or are brought in from the cold to a
warm (and humid) room, condensation can
occur, causing snapping or rattling sounds, etc.
The SuperCMIT is distinctly less subject to
this problem than analog microphones, since
its greater power consumption creates enough
warmth to hinder any moisture condensation.
But if such noises should ever occur, give the
microphone a few minutes to warm up, and
then as a rule it will again give you trouble-
free operation.
Wind noise and windscreens
Interference caused by air currents (wind, vocal
popping, movement of the microphone on
the boom or airflow through heating or venti-
lation systems) can impair the sound quality. If
the wind is mild, the simple W 170 foam
windscreen which is supplied as an accessory
can help. For strong wind there are Rycote
basket-type windscreens (see page 12).
