1. Power Supply

Your condense r mic C-1 needs a phantom power s upply (+36 to +52 V). If your C-1 is connec ted to a microphone p reamp and supplie d with phantom power, the LED o n the microph one lights up. BEHRINGER assu mes no liability f or any damage caused b y a defec tive phantom power su pply. Always mute the so und reinforcemen t system before you switc h on the phantom power su pply.

2. Directivity

Your C-1 features a ca psule with a cardi oid pickup patt ern and is ideal for re cording individ ual instrument s, vocals and speec h. Cardioid pick up pattern means t hat the sound produce d by sources locate d in front of the mic is s trongly picked up. I t is often used in record ing situations, sin ce this directi vity patter n tones down the pick up of sounds located t o the back of the micr ophone.

3. Microphone Installation

There is an ad apter on your microp hone that lets you mo unt it on mic stands w ith either me tric (Europe) or imper ial-gauge threa ds (North Ameri ca). First dismantle t he microphone from the stand mount adapter by detaching the ne-thread shoulder screw at the bot tom end of the microp hone. Fasten the adapte r onto the micropho ne stand, place the microphone into it and tighten the screw again.

Basical ly, the microphone in th e stand mount adap ter should stand up right and face the sound sou rce at a right angle. The a ngle of the microph one to the sound sour ce inuences the sound of the recording; therefore, experiment with dierent positions until you achieve th e desired sound. To this e nd, you can rotate the m ic in the stand mount a dapter by loosening the screw somewhat and tightening it again.
