ntroduction
Thank you very much for purchasing the Nowsonic Chorus! Chorus was especially designed for recording applications. The large diaphragm con­denser mic features a gold plated dual diaphragm with a 34mm diameter. The polar pattern is cardioid. Thanks to a transformer-free circuitry and a variable PAD, Chorus can handle a peak level of 145dB without clipping. Therefore, the mic is also suited for vocal recordings as well as for capturing guitar amplifiers or even for orchestral recordings. Chorus features a swit­chable high pass filter (-6dB/octave at 160Hz) for reducing low frequency noise. With the high-quality shock-mount and a solid transport case, the microphone is recommended for professional applications in recording, broadcast, and TV studios, on stage as well as for live applications and for personal recording. Please take your time to read these instructions carefully in order to operate Chorus properly. Please check the unit after unpacking for any damages. In case the housing is visibly damaged, please do not operate the unit, but contact your local dealer from whom you have purchased it.

Operating manual
Please take Chorus out of the transport case and insert the mic careful­ly into the supplied shock-mount: the elastic suspension can be moun­ted directly to any standard mic stand with a 5/8” or 3/8” thread (using a thread adapter) and decouples the microphone from the stand and therefore from any impact noise. Connect the microphone to the mic input of an appropriate preampli­fier using a balanced XLR cable (optional). Turn on your preamplifier and your recording and playback devices respectively and lower the volume to the minimum. Activate the phantom power at the preamplifier. Ad­just the gain as needed while Chorus is directed to the audio source.
Note: Avoid any feedback loops! Chorus is very sensitive and therefore can be easily stimulated by so called feedback loops. If any feedback occurs, instantly lower the pre-amplification and/or turn down the playback volume of your monitoring system.
The upper switch on the microphone‘s front activates a high pass filter which damps low frequency noise: the filter attenuates signals below the cutoff frequency 160Hz with a slope of 6 dB/octave. In addition, this filter helps to reduce the so called proximity effect – an overemphasis of low frequencies at close range – when recording a voice or vocals.
When using Chorus for recording loud sources like guitar amplifiers, an orchestra or when you use it as an overhead for drum recordings, you can activate a -10dB PAD via the lower switch on the front of the microphone: when PAD is activated, Chorus can handle signals with up to 145dB without clipping.
The supplied foam windscreen is an alternative to professional pop filters and reduces pop noises when using Chorus for voice-overs and vocal recordings.

Instructions for Operation and Storage
The premium-quality circuitry inside the microphone is very sensitive. To avoid any damages, don‘t let the microphone fall down and protect it against excessive shock. In order to preserve the microphone‘s sensitivity and audio quality, protect it from moisture and extreme temperatures. If you do not use Chorus, you should pack the microphone in the sup­plied transport case.

Einleitung
Vielen Dank, dass Sie sich für das Nowsonic Chorus entschieden haben. Chorus wurde speziell für Recording-Anwendungen entwickelt. Das Großmembran-Kondensatormikrofon verfügt über eine goldbeschichtete 34 mm Doppelmembran und arbeitet mit der Richtcharakteristik Niere. Dank einer Übertrager-freien Schaltung sowie einer variablen PAD­Schaltung verarbeitet es Spitzenpegel bis 145 dB verzerrungsfrei und eignet sich daher neben der Gesangsaufnahme auch für die Abnahme von Gitarrenverstärkern oder auch für die Abnahme eines Orchesters. Zur Unterdrückung von tieffrequenten Störgeräuschen bietet Chorus einen schaltbaren Hochpassfilter (-6 dB/Oktave bei 160 Hz). Mit der hochwertigen Mikrofonspinne und dem stabilen Transportkoffer emp­fiehlt sich das Mikrofon für den professionellen Einsatz in Aufnahme­studios, im Broadcasting- und TV-Bereich, im Live- und Bühneneinsatz sowie für Projektstudios. Bitte nehmen Sie sich Zeit und lesen Sie diese Bedienungsanleitung sorgfältig durch, damit Sie Chorus richtig in Betrieb nehmen können. Bitte überprüfen Sie das Gerät nach dem Auspacken auf etwaige Schäden: Sofern Schäden am Gehäuse sichtbar sind, nehmen Sie das Gerät bitte nicht in Betrieb, sondern wenden sich sofort an Ihren loka­len Händler, bei dem Sie das Gerät gekauft haben.
