General Characteristics

is microphone has a 32mm capsule and a xed cardioid pickup pattern. Condenser microphones are very sensitive, readily revealing
very subtle sonic details. ey also tend to pick up sounds outside the pattern more than some designs, 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 microphone 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 preamp, mixer or separate power supply is switched on.

Microphone Cables

is microphone connects to a preamp or mixer via XLR cable. e microphone cable can have a profound eect 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 highly 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. For vocals closer
than 3”, use a “popper stopper” or a foam windscreen to avoid getting moisture on the diaphragm as this can substantially degrade the
microphone’s performance.
