General Characteristics
is microphone has a twenty millimetre gold-sputtered diaphragm with a xed cardioid pickup. In addition, the microphone has a
switchable High Pass Filter set at 6 dB/octave @ 150Hz useful for eliminating troublesome unwanted low frequencies. In addition
it has a 20 dB pad switch, (Pre-attenuation switch) to prevent overloading the microphones internal circuitry at high sound pressure
levels.
Condenser microphones are by their nature very sensitive, readily revealing very subtle sonic details. ey also tend to pick up ambient
sounds more than dynamic microphones, which can lead to powerful feedback if you are not careful. We strongly advise experimentation with placement and isolation requirements with the gain initially set low to avoid equipment and hearing damage!
Power Requirements
IMPORTANT - is unit requires phantom power at 48 volts, +/- 4 volts. Each unit has been thoroughly checked before shipping, so
if you do not hear sound, check that the phantom power on your mixer or separate power supply is switched on!
Microphone Cables
e microphone cable can have a profound eect on the sound of any microphone. Even the nest microphones will sound poor if the
interconnect cable allows noise to enter, or causes distortion and loss of information. Use only the best microphone cable your budget
will allow. We recommend using Mogami® brand cable.
Care
Dust and foreign material can degrade the performance of a microphone over time so always store the unit in its case. Remove ngerprints from the exterior with a clean soft cloth.
