Product Usage Instructions
Setting Up the AEA N13 Active Mid-Field Ribbon Mic
- Place the microphone on a stable surface or attach it to a microphone stand using the included mic stand clip.
- Ensure the microphone is positioned correctly for optimal sound capture.
- Connect the XLR-3M connector of the microphone to a compatible audio interface or mixer.
- If phantom power is required, make sure to activate it on your audio interface or mixer.
Adjusting Settings and Orientation
- The AEA N13 microphone has a bidirectional pattern, so adjust its orientation according to your sound source.
- Keep in mind the microphone’s polar pattern and maximum SPL to avoid distortion.
Maintaining and Storing the Microphone
- After each use, gently clean the microphone with the soft cloth bag included in the accessories.
- Store the microphone in the provided storage shipping case to protect it from dust and damage.
FAQ
- Q: Does the AEA N13 require phantom power?
- A: Yes, the AEA N13 requires P48 phantom power to operate correctly. Make sure your audio interface or mixer can provide this power before connecting the microphone.
- Q: What is the directional pattern of the AEA N13 microphone?
- A: The AEA N13 features a bidirectional pattern, capturing sound from both the front and back of the microphone while rejecting sound from the sides.
- Q: How should I position the AEA N13 for optimal sound capture?
- A: Position the microphone according to the sound source and adjust its orientation to take advantage of its bidirectional nature. Experiment with placement to achieve the desired sound quality.
