Dear customer:
Congratulations on choosing the SCHOEPS
digital SuperCMIT 2 U, the world's first "intel-
ligent" shotgun microphone. Its features
include:
– distinctly increased directivity – even at low
and middle frequencies – on the basis of
the analog model CMIT 5 U
– extraordinary suppression of diffuse sound
– completely new operating principle using
two transducers (capsules)
– uses DSP* algorithms (patent applied for)
by Illusonic
– two-channel output:
SuperCMIT on channel 1 and unprocessed
shotgun microphone signal on channel 2
– SCHOEPS sound quality: transparent, despite
the high directivity
*digital signal processing
Included accessories:
Wooden case, SG 20 stand adapter, W 170
foam windscreen (for moderate wind and
boom motion)
Also available:
PSD 2U powering box for digital phantom
powering (DPP, 10 V) with XLR and RCA
outputs, including AC adapter; available
either with common coaxial socket or 4-pin
Hirose socket
Mount & Handle: shock mount with pistol grip;
WSR CMIT basket-type windscreen with
"Windjammer" (for stronger wind)
PSD 2 U with
coaxial socket
Version with
Hirose socket

The technology
The SuperCMIT 2 U has one capsule positioned
behind its forward-facing interference tube,
plus a second capsule that is aimed in the
reverse direction. At frequencies below 6 kHz
the signals of these two transducers are ana-
lyzed and compared by a digital signal proces-
sor using technology from Illusonic (patent
applied for). It can recognize sound energy
arriving from discrete directions, deduce
whether its direction of arrival is persistent or
not, and distinguish such energy from diffuse
arriving sound.
This information is then used to focus on the
discrete sound energy while suppressing the
diffuse sound. Thus the "reach" of this micro-
phone is greatly increased, without artifacts or
coloration of the sound.
Above 6 kHz the signal from the forward-
facing transducer is used without further pro-
cessing, since the interference tube's effect is
already optimal in that range.
The SuperCMIT is the first microphone in
the world to offer such high directivity while
maintaining such high quality of sound.
