Conde nser
Conden ser micro phones work wit h power. Professi onal sta ndard is 48VDC phanto m power. Some mic rophones work w ith lower vol tage as low as
1.5VDC , such as battery power model. E105/E1 08 wor k with 9 to 48V DC phanto m onl y and 1.5V DC ba ttery. Please make sure your sound system provide a daquate powe r to the microphon e.

Store the con denser micro phones in ai rconditione d room or dehumidifi er to keep away form moisture. Clean air is anot her im portant factor. Kee p away from smoki ng environmen t to avoid tar resi duals.
Mounting the microp hone
Pressure gradi ent mi crophone is very s ensitive to vibration . Suit able shock mount for hi gh perf ormance microphone is ne cessary for ext reme low noise recording . Sturdy s tand can set the mi crophone e xcatly at the sweet spot and keep it the re. Choose heavy du ty microphone s tand for studio c ondenser micropho ne which weigh ts much more than h andle microph one.
Superlu x provides w ide range o f microphon e stands for various de mands. Big Foot W illie is specially developed for large condenser microphone s that ab le to support 2 large micropho nes w ith s tereo bracket for single point stere o recording .
Extensi on foot on all the 'E ' versions serve to mount heavy studio mi crophone in limit sp ace live sound a pplication s.
Distance to source
Close miking or distant miking sou nd very d ifferently. Vocal record ing or li ve perform ance practice close mikin g most ly. Su itable proximity effe ct is one desired target, and lower feedbac k probl em is another facto r for live sound applica tion.
While d istant mik ing is comm on practic e for recordi ng, especi ally stereo pair recording w ith large group of p erformers, s uch as orchestr a or choir.
Distant miki ng ge nerally picks up less bass section with pressure grad ient type of m icrophone (c ardioid, fig ure-8, shotg un...) due to acoustic nature and lack of prox imity effect s.
Rich bass wi th dis tant m iking can be recorde d with pre ssure t ype of micropho ne (Omni), which per forms the same frequ ency respon se with cl ose or distan t pick-up.
